About

Student Driver Log started as a personal itch. When my son was working toward his Illinois driver's license, we needed to log 50 hours of supervised driving — and the spreadsheet we were using wasn't cutting it. So I built something better.

There are other apps that do this. This one is mine, and now yours too if it's useful. It's free, it runs in your browser, and it installs on your phone's home screen without any app store involved.

It's also a small demonstration of something I find genuinely exciting: people with a technical background can build real, production-quality software faster than ever before — with AI as a collaborator rather than just a tool. This app was built almost entirely with AI assistance, from the database schema to the authentication system to the PDF report generator. If you're curious about that process, the code is open on GitHub.
