I have to agree. While the cards themselves are a useful format, I wish this had more "How do you..." rather than "What is..." questions. E.g. Q: "How do you provide temporary credentials to IAM users to access some AWS resource?" A: "STS"

Thanks for the feedback! I'll take it into consideration when I create more cards (AWS deck is done, but I will create Azure deck next). I tried to strike a balance between different question types (e.g. "what", "how", "why", "compare", "which"). I thought that this variation in question format is nice when you're plowing through a lot of questions. Maybe I have too many "what" questions. Those are the easiest to think up and write down.

  That's great. That way it can cater to both those who are looking to get a certification and those who just want to apply the skills (like myself). Another thought: would you be open to converting the content from HTML-in-JSON to markdown (one file per card, perhaps?). I wanted to fork your repo and create cards for various different skills, but the format kind of put me off.

    Try to fork the repo and run it locally. There's a button for creating cards (button appears only when running it locally). It's still HTML-in-JSON, but you get instant preview while editing, and I think it's a nice way to format cards. HTML offers more flexibility in formatting than Markdown does. That said, I totally understand you might prefer a different format, and if you want to work on it, I'm sure you will be able to replace the HTML-in-JSON format with Markdown.

      Hi, Thanks for creating this. I have forked and I am running the app locally. But, I don't see any button for creating the cards. Edit: I had to manually change the visibility style in styles.css and then it worked.
