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!
takes a bit of clicking but the repo for the site is at https://github.com/baobabKoodaa/cloudbite

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.

Good idea! I added this on my to-do list.
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!

Sorry, you're going to have to use it for free.
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.
