Hi HN,I've been looking for a way to quickly prototype simple Qiskit circuits without the friction of a local Python setup, so I decided to build a tool for it.This is a browser-based playground that not only runs your Qiskit code but helps you truly understand what it's doing through visualization.The key features are the interactive simulations:- Step-by-step animations: You can watch exactly...

Hey apsv, thank you so much for the feedback!

That's a fantastic and completely fair point. My initial thinking for requiring a sign-up was to allow users to save their progress as they solve more problems, but you're 100% right that it creates unnecessary friction and prevents people from seeing the core product.

Being able to try an example problem instantly is a much better experience. Based on your comment, this is now my #1 priority to fix. I'm going to work on adding a live, interactive example directly on the homepage.

This is incredibly valuable feedback – thank you again for taking the time. It's exactly why I wanted to share the project here.

Hi HN,I’m Yongcong Luo, the creator of Quantum Lings.I've been fascinated by quantum computing for a while, but I always found the learning curve to be incredibly steep. Most resources are either dense academic papers or require complicated local setups with SDKs like Qiskit or Cirq before you can even write your first line of quantum code.There wasn't a simple, interactive way to get hands-on...
