This is the best comment here! I made this app not with making money in mind, but knowing I want an obtainable skill that I can leverage with applying to schools/jobs. I’m not here to make money quick, I want to build something with meaning, and I don’t think that’s possible with someone’s first app. This is the first step in learning to reach my meaningful idea.

I mean I got good feedback and only improved my app from this post, and got in contact with cool people. I’ll call it a win :). We can agree to disagree, your point is valid. And no I didn’t even know you could buy upvotes, I think the only people commenting are because I said I’m 16.

Thanks for checking out my app, even if you showed support or really hated it, all feeback is needed.
Lot's of people were questioning my credibility on wether I was 16 or not and many other things, if this is such a concern to you I post on Twitter @willcranna where there's a demo video of my product.
Once again thank you, and I hope to post here again. Hopefully next time majority enjoy the product, lol.

You're right I have no coding skill. But testing out Lovable and bringing my idea to reality made me realize this is something I want to learn so I've already began taking a course learning how to code softwares of my own.
People should't be "scared" of these LLM's it's just a tool that shows coding to a wider audience.

If i'm selling to students (kids) would they not be more interested in an app made for them by someone like them?

Shoot thanks for letting me know. I’ll fix that now!

Thanks, definitely had a few laughs when scrolling through the comments this morning. I’m happy you like my idea, and I hope to only improve upon it from here.

lol I don’t think my idea is that revolutionary. Maybe I make something good enough for the YC in the future. I’m happy you like my product!

Entrepreneurial skills? I didn’t mean to come off this way, just made a quick post showing what I’m working on. Thanks for the feedback.

Fair enough, I’ll update my HN profile. I just thought I’d quickly make a post.

Thank you. I’m hoping I can improve in this idea.

None of the images are fake, most of them are from a free licensing site. And the Conner photo is my friend.

If you make a free account you’ll see it’s not a scam. I do agree a demo video would be a good idea.

It’s my first real product at 16? Should I be making the next billion dollar corp? I’m just figuring things out before going to uni.

Do you mean if I stop working on this project? The only info being stored is your email. All notes and uploads aren’t stored anywhere and when you delete a note they are gone forever. Ai doesn’t store them either as they only see the info temporarily.

Or I saw Marc Lou and his format and got some idea from him.

This is exactly what happened. Only guy I knew that graduated, thought I’d ask for his photo and a quote.

Thanks for commenting this. This is my first ever app and thought why not get some input from HN. Didn’t expect people to take it this way.

I honestly didn’t know it was free, I assumed you had to pay Google.

Appreciate it, I didn’t expect this post to get as much attention as it did, this is just a small idea I had. I didn’t think an email yet was necessary.

The reason I have is even less believable, lol. I made my personal email when I was 7 so I just made it that. If you don’t believe me check out my Twitter @willcranna .

I never heard of it, thanks. I never thought people would be so thrown off by a temporary personal email.

Thanks, I’m working on making the ui better for flash cards and tests right now. Appreciate your feedback. This post was all I needed for some user feedback to know that I need to work on next.

Thanks! I’ve always had this problem too so I thought I’d make an app.

When connecting an api they don’t save or learn anything from the upload. It’s just transferred temporarily.

The information gets sent to openAI but they don’t save or learn anything from the upload. They make this claim.
