Hi there,

I am a college student who recently got a job as a software developer. Just like any other guy looking to land his first software developer job, I went through the grind of practicing leetcode and taking notes to be interview ready.

In that process, I ended up creating flashcards for myself that covers essential concepts asked in an interview. I penned down stuff like Time complexity to several algorithms, and a summary of how some underlying structure of data structures like hash tables, linked lists, trees, etc functions.

I found them valuable during my coding interview prep.

Paul Grahm mentioned in one of his essays that the best validation of the product is people paying for it. So, I’ve set up a website where users can preorder to get these flashcards.

My goal is to touch 75 pre-orders! Right now, I'm at 27. If I could reach my goal then I could very well be on my way to print and sell it as a real product.

This is something I built to scratch my itch and I feel there could be many like me who would find this helpful.

I'm curious to know what you think about this
