Show HN: I made a tool that helps you pass any exam

Hey, Shaurya here! I am a 13 year old developer who loves to make websites and app. Recently I created Ace It. A tool from which you can create flashcards, quizzes, summaries and youtube video suggestions. You can use all features for free. Here is the link to try it out: https://aceit.study https://aceit.study Feel free to comment your thoughts/suggestions about the product. Thanks, Shaurya

I see the vision. I would replace the Monteserrat font with something like Work Sans (or just go with Inter like a lot of people do) and maybe go down to `font-weight: 500` (Medium) for your header elements that appear in the cards that also use Montserrat (the font size is too small to be that bold and the letters end up looking like a fat man in a dress shirt with the buttons holding on for dear life). Your page design is real groovy and Montserrat lacks that groove. Work Sans is a good medium between groove and money maker. No one will notice the difference (apparently they aren't supposed to), but I bet you the groove will hit harder and the money may follow. Also consider decreasing the font weight for Meshed Display to something like 200-300, like how you set it to 100 at the top. The font takes on an entirely different personality at lighter weights in a way that matches the rest of the design you've made. When it's bold (i.e., 700) it looks real formal and business like, at least compared to the rest of the page. Also on mobile, some of the entries in the FAQ appear centered and some don't. But yeah man check out Work Sans (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Work+Sans https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Work+Sans) and maybe change b, strong { font-weight: bolder; } to b, strong { font-weight: 500; } Your email address in the FAQ is nearly unreadable. Again, "fat man in a dress shirt that's too small". In your CSS and see how that works.

Hope this helps.

  Hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to type and explain all of this. I will definitely apply this feedback. I agree about the font, I will change the font to Work Sans.

I'm a little tired of these bait and switch tactics that seem popular nowadays. You can use all the features for free, but it's a paid app. Please don't.

  Hey, right now you can create 10 free exams for free. I just have a limit so people don't abuse the product since AI api's can get pricey.

    Fair enough. I just wish it was made clearer earlier. Good luck with your project.
