Hi, author here. I'm so happy to see this appear on HN front page! I almost didn't post this on HN as I wasn't sure if there would be interest towards a site like this. I spent so many hours tinkering with the UI and crafting questions that I'm happy to see that people are finding value in it :)

I’m curious, did you build the flash card UI yourself, or use a library? I’m not in the market for studying AWS skills, but I really like the flash card interface!

  Thanks! I built the flashcard UI myself with vanilla JS.

    Cool, good work! I see someone else posted the GitHub link, I’ll check it out.

This is neat. What I'm missing though is a static link to a particular card which I can then share with others.

This is exactly how I studied for hard (theory-heavy) exams at the university! If this would cover >90% of what can come up on the certification exam, I would be willing to pay! Please take my money!

  AWS Professional Services here -- we all study for our cert exams using the site acloud.guru. They're not always perfect, but generally pretty good and handy for spot study. May be a good choice if you want to go deeper than these flashcards. AWS also offers in-person training sessions that are quality, but I'm not sure what the status of those are given the ongoing pandemic.

Thanks for posting this. AWS is so complex, there are so many products on it that it's often overwhelming to know where to start to learn it, so this is very helpful.
