Feedback by study visually

Would you study with this? Be brutally honest 👇

I built StudyVisually because rereading notes never worked for me. Paste notes, a PDF or a photo of a textbook page, and you get a deck you can study 7 ways: flashcards, quizzes, timed interview questions, diagrams and more. It's free, with no sign-up needed to try it. I need fresh eyes on 3 things: Is it clear what the app does within 5 seconds of landing on it? Making your first deck: where did you get stuck? Would you pay $4 a month for this? If not, what's missing? 🔗 https://studyvisually.com I'll reply to every comment, and I'm happy to test your product in return. 🙏

Launch by study visually

I'm launching StudyVisually 🚀

I kept re-reading my notes and forgetting them a week later, so I built a tool that tests me instead. Paste your notes, upload a PDF or snap a photo of a textbook page, and our AI turns it into a study deck in about a minute. Then you study that deck 7 ways: • Learn: concept cards, one idea at a time • Flashcards: cards come back right before you forget • Quiz: guess the answer before you see it • Interview: answer out loud against the clock • Step by step: walk through diagrams • Roadmap: the whole subject on one path • Daily mission: a short plan for today It's free to start, and you don't need an account to try it. The free plan includes 5 AI decks a month. I'd love honest feedback, especially on what's confusing or missing. 🙏

Progress by TJ June

Hooking Groq to Cloudflare D1 (and curing my marketing…

We all know how to crush a 14-day MVP sprint. We build the frontend, wire up the database, and launch. And then... we completely freeze. Yesterday, I pivoted my project to solve exactly this. Today, I actually wired up the brain. I took the CSV of 300+ launchpads and directories I scraped, loaded them into Cloudflare D1, and wrote the prompt engine using the Groq API. My goal was simple: build an AI that acts as my personal, ruthless marketing boss. I ran the first test this morning. Instead of me staring at a blank screen wondering where to post, the system pulled an unused directory, analyzed my app, and handed me a single 15-minute task with a 90%-finished draft. I just copied, tweaked, and shipped it. Zero decision fatigue. If you just finished a sprint and are staring at an empty user dashboard, I am opening 10 free beta spots for the Distribution Syndicate. Let's stop overthinking distribution and get our first 100 users together. Drop a comment if you want a spot! #buildinpublic #mvp #startups @Buildside @brix
