Decks is a study application designed to keep all your stuff in one place, instead of having an app for flashcards, another for notes, and one to watch tutorials, create a deck and keep everything organized there.

Hey everyone, just wanted to talk a little bit about the product that I built. This product started out as a small side project; I was going to build a simple flashcard app and that was it, mostly because I wanted to work with some tech that I've never used before like React. As I was developing it though I kept wanting to add more and more features until it grew into, for better or worse, this monstrosity that I have today. What I ended up building was an app that I would want to use whenever I'm trying to learn something new. I do a lot of my learning through watching tutorials, taking notes, reading blogs and books, and what I found was that I ended up with a fragmented learning experience with stuff all over the place. I would have my notes in one app or many, flashcards in another, and the video source material somewhere else. and thus, Decks was born. Decks was designed to keep everything in one location that you can use to learn now and reference later. Thanks for taking a look! Any feedback would be great, would love to know what is working and what features I might be missing.

@stewup Hey Stewart, thanks for the comment! I think what sets Decks apart is that it’s more than just a flashcard app, you can also use it to take notes, organize videos, and add flashcards to those notes and videos. Another difference is that accessing your flashcards and other content on your phone is free, Anki charges a fee to download their app. Here’s a sample video deck of python tutorials, if you are interested in checking it out https://app.decksapp.com/shared/...
