Show HN: CardPi – Showcase collections of content in series of digital cards
Website: https://www.cardpi.com. CardPi is primarily a mobile app but if you if you don’t have an iOS device please take a look at the site, keen to get feedback on that too.
CardPi is an app to showcase collections of content in series of digital cards on mobile and web.
The vision for this to allow content creators from independent bloggers and game developers to larger organizations to publish information in a way that is standardized and easy to access across mobile and web. For example a video game publisher wants to release information about an upcoming game. Instead of (or in addition to) a typical game promotional website with overuse of flash and no easy way to get at specific information or place for discussion, they can create series for characters, locations, items etc. and have cards for each character, location, item. Each card can be updated as little or as much as they like, they get discussion forums automatically for every update along with other features.
The idea is to have well organized nuggets of information or live documents in a standardized card form with imagery/text all grouped by series and subseries keeping related content together and with appropriate hierarchy.
Apple does not allow apps mentioning ‘beta’ or ‘preview’ so if you view it on the App Store, other than being version 0.0.0, it won’t say this but really it is very early days and a lot of changes are in progress and there is much to do. So now is a good time for getting early feedback.
To reiterate this is very early days and there is currently little content aside from sample data but I wanted to get some initial feedback so thank you for taking the time to take a look.
