Hello FET Community! 👋

I'm excited to introduce FET Viewer, a modern, user-friendly web companion for exploring and managing your FET-generated timetables online.

🔗 Try it now: https://fetviewer.com



🌍 What Is FET Viewer?

FET Viewer transforms your timetables into a dynamic, interactive web experience.
No more static HTML pages — now you can view, drag, drop, analyze, and print your schedules directly in your browser with instant conflict feedback and powerful print customization.

It works beautifully on desktop, tablet, and mobile — fast, clear, and collaboration-ready.

✨ Key Highlights

🧩 Drag-and-Drop Interface – Move activities interactively to adjust or fine-tune schedules

⚠️ Basic Conflict Reports Instantly – Detect overlapping or clashing activities in real time

🖨� Advanced Printing Options – Immense customization and fine-tuning for perfect layout control

🤝 Collaboration-Ready – Share timetables easily with colleagues and departments

🔍 Smart Search & Filtering – Quickly locate teachers, subjects, groups, or rooms

📊 Multiple Views – See your timetable by teacher, group, subject, or room

🎨 Modern & Clean Interface – Simple, responsive layouts with clear readability

⚡ Fast & Efficient – Lightweight, smooth, and ready for instant use

🌐 Multi-Language Support – Accessible to users worldwide

💡 Why I Built It

FET is an incredible open-source timetabling engine — powerful, flexible, and indispensable.
However, I saw a need for a modern web viewer that could make exploring, refining, and sharing FET timetables easier for everyone involved.

FET Viewer fills that gap.

It provides a visual, interactive layer on top of your FET data — helping teachers, administrators, and coordinators visualize, detect conflicts, and print polished timetables with precision.

Whether you're reviewing a full schedule or preparing customized printouts for a specific teacher, group, or room, FET Viewer gives you total control.

🚀 Getting Started

2️⃣ Sign up for a free account to upload your own FET timetable (exported as a CSV file)

3️⃣ Or try the full-featured demo instantly at 👉 https://fetviewer.com/demo

4️⃣ Explore, adjust, and print schedules with the drag-and-drop interface and rich print customization

You'll be up and running in seconds!

💬 Feedback Welcome

Although FET Viewer is not a community-developed project, your feedback and suggestions are very welcome.
If you have ideas for improving the viewing or printing experience — such as enhanced conflict reports, new layouts, or export formats — please share them!

Thank you, @fetviewer ! Looks beautiful, unlike the very sober FET  :)

@Volker Dirr , what do you say, should we add a link in the Tools/Links FET homepage, and create a new board here, in the FET Tools category? fetviewer, would you like this?

fetviewer

Thank you so much! 😊 I'm really glad you like it!
Yes, that sounds wonderful — having it linked on the FET homepage and a dedicated board under FET Tools would be great! It'll make it easier for users to find and share feedback. I'd be happy about that! 🙌

Your website looks very professional. Small possible improvement: You wrote "Free and Open Source...", but you forgot to set the link to the source (or I didn't saw that link).

Yes, why not adding it. What do you suggest as description for the board? I fear your description from your website is too long for the FET Forum. It should be shorter.

Thank you very much. You're right — a shorter version makes sense. How about something like:

"A modern web-based viewer for FET timetables — clean, interactive, and easy to use."

Also, just to clarify — while it was initially described as free and open source, it's currently free to use, but not open source. I'll make sure the description reflects that correctly.

Ahh... ok. I see. I bit "unfair", since your whole homepage is written like "No subscriptions, no paywalls, no vendor lock-in. Use it freely, modify it, and contribute back to the community if you wish.".

Not sure if we should add a commercial link to an other timetabling tool in the forum. Yes, I have myself commercial links here, but they are different from what FET does and I am contributing FET.

Liviu must decide. It is his server here.

Liviu Lalescu

Volker, let's add it! FET viewer is different from what FET does, I think it is in the direction of TiTiTo, if I understood correctly. We only have to gain from a tool which enhances and promotes FET.

fetviewer said he will update the description, to reflect that it is not free software, but freeware.

I will go now on my walk and in 1-2 hours add it, if there are no other problems.

Volker Dirr

Ok. I think we should wait until he updated his homepage.

fetviewer

Thanks again for the follow-up! 😊
Just to clarify — the project isn't open source, but it's completely free to use. I also updated the section on the site to make that clear:

"Free and Agile. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no vendor lock-in. Use it freely."

It's not meant to compete with FET at all — rather, it's just a web-based companion that helps visualize timetables generated by FET.

I really appreciate your attention to these details and your support in sharing it responsibly on the homepage 🙏

Ok. Now the description looks fine. I think Liviu will add it after his walk.

Liviu Lalescu

Fine, I created a new entry in the Tools/Links section of the FET homepage, in section 2 (proprietary), and placed it before FET READ, which is old and unmaintained anymore.

Then, I created a new FET forum board in FET Tools, and fetviewer is a moderator.

Please check both and let me know if the text is fine!

Thank you! I will invite you, fetviewer, to make the first post in this new forum board.
