Hey HN, I made this tool to help myself and other programmers improve their skills. This a flashcard deck from a favorite source of mine, Jon Benteley's Bumper Sticker Computer Science. Would love to know if you enjoy the flashcards. Thanks in advance!

I would love to know how to improve that experience. I don't think I'm understanding the exact issue though. The buttons should be right next to each other already. Are you suggesting the buttons should replace each other when toggling the answer so the mouse has to move less distance?

Happy to work out this issue individually if you would like and address other questions/feedback you might have. My email is niko@pensieve.space. Thanks!

You are right. The reporting feature is just an Airtable form.

Sorry if you are still experiencing load times. It might be worth it to build a cache layer for the API so that the responses are quicker. Will look into how to improve that :/

It should already support both mouse and keyboard options for reviewing flashcards. Is one of those methods not working for you?

The Airtable sheet is pretty simple. It is simply a Card table with Front, Back, and Deck columns and the Deck table contains all the other information you might see on the site. I also have a table for reporting issues through that report form you included.

That's really cool. I hadn't seen that before. I've bookmarked it for future ideas :D

Hi HN, I've been collecting flashcard decks around some of the harder topics in frontend development and recently built a site around it. The site is built with `create-react-app` and uses Airtable's API so the app itself is actually pretty small. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know which topics you would like to see in the future. Thanks!

It definitely was just a fun project and I made it mostly as a joke. However, you are able to specify your messages which the script plugs into a template string. Totally ridiculous and totally impractical but fun nonetheless. Cheers!
