EDUFY 1.0 came out on 23 October 2026, but the idea is older. This is the story of the versions before it: what they could do, what they looked like, and why we started again.

March 2024: Insight Academy

The first version was called Insight Academy. It began on 25 March 2024 with a website template we had bought for tutoring sites, and over the next two weeks it was turned into a real web app with help from freelance developers.

By April it could already:

  • Sign people up and in, with email and password checks and a picture code against bots.
  • Show a different menu to students, tutors and admins.
  • Keep a tutor profile with education, and let an admin manage every account.

September 2024: the first EDUFY

In September 2024 it was built again from the start as EDUFY, with the code split into the layers it still has today. A week later it looked like this.

  • Tutor search with filters for level, subject, price, rating and place.
  • Tutor profiles with availability, education, subjects and a media gallery.
  • Booking with a time zone and a date, paid by card or PayPal.
  • Chat between students, tutors and admins, a calendar, likes and saved tutors.
  • A dark admin panel for categories, subjects, tutors and students.

2025: written down

Over the following months the menus, the chat and the profiles were improved. In May 2025 EDUFY was written up in full (its features, design, database and tests) and presented.

11 September 2026: starting again

By 2026 the old code had grown hard to trust. On 11 September 2026 we started again from a clean, secure base: passwords and keys out of the code, every payment checked with Stripe, chats that only the people in them can open, protection against forged forms, and up-to-date building blocks. That day is the first page of the EDUFY you use now.

Six weeks and 262 changes later, that became EDUFY 1.0.

Then and now

The old versions are kept safely as a backup. Thank you to everyone who built, tested and believed in EDUFY along the way.
