The most common question we receive is, how is SchoolBlocks inspired by Pinterest?
SchoolBlocks eliminates navigation bars and uses a block style layout that’s similar to Pinterest. It
creates a unique and engaging browsing experience, optimizes for mobile and removes a lot of navigational
complexity.

SchoolBlocks offers a unique and powerful personalized search system.
A member of the public, searching for "homework" might see an announcement from the school as the first
result. However, if the user is logged in, they would see their teacher’s latest homework assignment as the
top result.
