This is a small Dash app that aims to solve the problem of assigning topics (e.g. in context of a practical course) to students. Considering a number of students and a fixed number seats for each available topic, the students can rate each topic on a scale from 1-5. Depending on the rating and the number of available seats, the tool will then assign the topics accordingly and reports the overall satisfaction.
The solver uses nevergrad for finding a solution.

Everything else should be self-explainatory. You can find hints by hovering the UI components and by clicking the "Help" button on the left sidepanel.
Of course, this is not related to the "real" Sorting Hat
