I'm Chris the developer of NoteKnight a flashcard application similar to Quizlet.
I'm a full time ICU nurse and got into web development as a hobby during the Covid era after looking into it as a career option for a friend and finding many open source education tools for coding online.
I quickly became addicted to solving problems and self learning.
After about a year I hit the intermediate level and the free education stuff dried up. Most people suggested building something to hone your skills.
I started working on NoteKnight and had ideas for what I wanted it to be able to do. Man, did I have some uninformed optimism but I stuck with it and two years in the site is something I'm proud of.
So let me share some of the tools I've built.
AI Flashcard Generator
Creates a set of flashcards from uploaded documents in roughly less than 30 seconds using GPT-4o. The cards will be a mix of question/answer, true/false, definitions, and cloze style.
Custom Rich Editor with AI Assistant
Built with TipTap and Vanilla JS I customized and created a built in AI assistant that works within the text editor using OpenAI API
Memorization Game
Spent a lot of time building this study game. It offers shuffle, card reversal and text input methods. The design methodology was simplicity. It works as expected and feels very dynamic. All completed with Vanilla JS. Also added it fun animations and round scoring with motivational phrases at random.
While it's still a work in progress I think it's come a long way and I'd love to hear some feedback!
