[Showoff Saturday] Built an AI lesson plan generator for special ed teachers — Next.js + Prisma + K8s

Showoff Saturday

Been working on this for a while and finally feel good enough to share. My wife is a SPED teacher and I watched her spend hours every week writing individualized lesson plans for each students IEP goals. Every kid has different accommodations, different disability categories, different grade levels - its a ton of work.

So I built SPED Lesson Planner. Teachers put in their students IEP goals and accommodations, and it generates a complete, tailored lesson plan thats IDEA-compliant. Takes about 5 minutes instead of 1-2 hours.

Tech stack for anyone curious:

  • Next.js with NextAuth (Google OAuth + credentials)
  • Prisma + PostgreSQL
  • Deployed on DigitalOcean Kubernetes with cert-manager
  • AI generation endpoint for the lesson plans
  • pSEO system generating ~500 pages across disability/grade/subject dimensions

The hardest part was honestly the pSEO architecture - modeling 7 cluster types across 4 dimensions without the generated content feeling templated. Each page needs to feel like it was written for that specific intersection (e.g., "lesson plans for students with autism in 3rd grade math").

Free tier gives 1 plan/month, Pro is $10/mo for unlimited.

Would love feedback on the landing page UX or the generation flow if anyone wants to poke around.
