Hi HN, I watch A LOT of educational YouTube videos but wasn't forgetting a good chunk of the details because I was only really passively watching. So I made a tool that generates quiz questions/flashcards from YouTube videos, and uses spaced repetition like Anki or Duolingo to keep it in memory. Let me know if you find it cool/useful (or terrible ) or if you want to know a bit about the details!

I'm launching UneeBee, an open-source tool for creating interactive courses like Duolingo: GitHub repo: https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee Demo: https://app.uneebee.com/ It's pretty early-stage, so there's a lot of things to improve. Everything on this project is going to be public, so you can check the roadmap on GitHub too: https://github.com/orgs/zoonk/projects/11 I'm creating this project because I love Duolingo and I wanted the same kind of experience to learn other things as well. But I think this could be useful to other…

Open Notebook▲144Open Notebook is a tool where you can upload your own sources - PDFs (textbooks, research papers), Github repos, documentation websites, and other URLs. Once uploaded, you can either chat with an AI about them or run “apps” on top of those sources. Apps can be anything. Right now, I’ve built the following: - turn articles into short video overviews - create a mind map of the source - create summaries or other reports about the source - generate quizzes or flashcards to help study the source You can also remix existing apps or create one from scratch. I built this because I wanted to make…

I've been working on Lurnby for 2 years. It's kind of like a mix of pocket + kindle + anki. It lets you => add add epubs, pdfs, and web articles to the app => highlight and add comments => tag and organize highlights => review them with a spaced repetition system Today I made the decision to open source the project. I'm passionate about helping other people learn to learn better and hope that this will allow a lot more innovation in the tool and the space. I'm very new to open source and development in general really, but looking forward to receiving the guidance of the community.

Hey HN! I'm Dris, a 17y/o solo founder. Over the past few weeks, I've been developing LIRA, a free Chrome extension that helps you take notes & get instant answers on any site. Instead of switching tabs or copying/pasting to ChatGPT, just select and right-click text, images, or links to save a note or ask LIRA anything. LIRA can instantly find accurate answers, summaries, and explanations, and automatically highlights correct answers. I made LIRA to help busy students like myself study smarter, not longer! That being said, LIRA is still a work in progress. There may be a few bugs &…

Hi HN, I’m Felipe, a 9-5 developer aiming to become a full-time indie hacker. I struggled with flashcard apps that focus on decorating cards instead of learning concepts, so I built FlipCards to solve that problem. What it does: FlipCards lets you: - Create cards for any concept (math, language, coding, etc.) - Add multiple variations per card – the more variations, the better your understanding - Study smarter – the algorithm randomly selects variations so you can’t just memorize Q→A patterns Why it’s different: - Most apps use reverse cards (Q→A, A→Q). FlipCards uses variations to…

QuizKnit is an open source quiz creator to create quizzes by pasting in text or selecting from a large range of historical categories.
