Hi HN,

Meet Zorbi - an efficient study tool made for busy people.

The inspiration for this tool came from the fact I exclusively used Anki when I got AWS certified myself. I passed my exam with 92% while also sitting four other university exams.

During that time, I realised that existing study tools and exam prep websites were using inferior learning techniques, and that's why Zorbi was born.

We have a lot of stuff on our roadmap now including:

- Study Schedule Generation (do a quick knowledge quiz and tell us your exam date, we'll tell you what to study and when to study)

- More question formats (MCQ, short answer)

- Analytics

- The ability to buy study kits directly from a marketplace (e.g. get Azure certified, Learn the most common chess openings, Learn basic Japanese)

- Integrations with Notion and Chrome

- Lots of stuff in the works to mitigate the demotivating factors that tools like Anki have :)

Our mission is to build a full-featured study tool that people ACTUALLY want to use (Combining the power of Anki with the simplicity and flexibility of Notion)

Let me know if you're pursuing an AWS certificate - happy to help in any way possible.

Hi, I think there's a bug on your registration page. When I enter my email and click on "Get Studying" nothing happens and the mouse arrow just turns into a circle
Oh that's strange. What browser are you using? It's just a Mailchimp list - seems to work on the few browsers I've tested on.

Maybe it is working but the feedback just isn't clear enough? It should output a success message/error message below the Get Studying button. (And then you'll be sent signup details in your email)

I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 machine. I disabled a privacy plugin called disconnect (https://disconnect.me/) and it worked! Thanks for following up
Great. I think it happened because we trigger a Google Analytics event on that button. Guess it's time to swap to Plausible Analytics...
Just tried on a Win10 Chrome with Ublock running and it seemed to work okay
