Ask HN: How Do You Write?

Hacker News - Sat, 04/26/2025 - 6:00pm

I realised it's faster for me to write quickly and then rewrite a corrected and refined version a second time than it is for me to take my time making corrections as I go. It made me wonder if other people have any tricks that help them write efficiently.

Show HN: Card-Snap – Generate Printable Flashcards from Any Document

Hacker News - Sat, 04/26/2025 - 5:51pm

Hi HN,

I built Card-Snap: www.card-snap.com

It’s a very simple tool where you upload a document (Word, PDF, TXT), and it generates a PDF file with printable flashcards.

The idea came to me when helping my daughter study science. I realized that while there are many digital flashcard apps, it’s not easy to get physical flashcards without a lot of manual work.

Card-Snap is minimal: no signup, no tracking, no ads — just upload, pick how many questions you want, and download the printable cards.

I’d love your feedback!

Some questions I have:

Is the idea useful enough on its own?

What features would you expect next (e.g., export options, better formatting, templates)?

Would you prefer more control over card content?

Thanks so much for taking a look!

Show HN: I made a tool that uses AI to turn my ADHD brain into a super power

Hacker News - Sat, 04/26/2025 - 5:22pm

I really struggle to keep my notes organised, and often can't make any sense of hand written notes after meetings. I did some experiments with Claude and ChatGPT where I blast random thoughts at them during a meeting or brainstorming session and then have them output a nice document that pulls it all together at the end. It worked incredibly well but it was a bit cumbersome to keep sending messages to the chat and telling the ai each time what to do. So I took the idea and built a tool, it makes it easy to throw random notes and voice recordings (images and document support on the way) and then just let the AI organise it all and create a nice, well-organised document. You view the document in the tool, download it as PDF or markdown, and soon you'll be able to share it via email. The system references your notes in the document that is generated so you can always see where a specific point came from.

I've made it so that you can subscribe for a two day trial for free without entering any payment details. I'd really love your feedback and ideas, especially if you're neurodivergent because I really think AI can help people like us!

It mostly works on mobile but the experience isn't as good as desktop (I'm working on that!)

Show HN: Fizzbuzz.md – Turn a Markdown file into a coding challenge

Hacker News - Sat, 04/26/2025 - 5:13pm

I work at a small startup trying to hire engineers and got tired of looking through resumes. As Joel Spolsky points out, they're not great indications of technical ability.

Instead, I decided to throw together a take-home challenge that applicants could access via an API. "If they can't solve the challenge, I don't need to see their resume," I told myself.

FizzBuzz.md is a better version of the solution I built for work. It lets applicants send questions and submissions to configurable email addresses via API so the email addresses aren't exposed directly. (Less spam, FTW)

Hope you find it useful. I plan to use it going forward.
