Your python.cards looks great. I suggest you add a few examples.

Any chance you are open sourcing the web app? I can see it being a popular way for niches to show flashcards eg. for students to learn X

Thanks! I definitely will add more examples to the landing page, currently I'm working hard on the decks: pathlib in depth, a tour of the stdlib and Norvig's tricks (a collection of tricks from the Pytydes of Peter Norvig).

I believe the hardest part of using spaced repetition to learn programming is creating good decks, it's a ton of work.

About open sourcing the web app, I might do it. It's a Django app, and I've published some videos while coding it (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyWUj9r0soytotuuh2JnPrw), so it's no secret.

I forgot to mention in my previous comment that I saw no sign up box for the newsletter.

Agreed. To have always been disappointed with the programming decks I have created.

I saw the videos, thanks. I think a generic platform would have value, even if there was a paid option with more features (payments etc.)

It's weird you didn't find the sign-up box to the waitlist, this is how it should look like: https://imgur.com/a/0ZIbz4p, I actually got some sign-ups from this comment!

Anyway, I can sign you up manually if you wish.

FYI: I had to turn off uBlock Origin to see the waitlist sign-up box, my guess is that's why teruakohatu didn't see it either.

Anyways, thanks for the project, it looks nice - I'll be happy to grab the decks when they're ready :)

Thanks for the tip! I'll try to fix it.
