Hi - no you would not take these to an interview. You would use these to prepare before going in. Maybe it's not for everybody, but for people who are really bad at interviewing (and I've worked with a few of them) structuring their answers and thinking about them before the interview can help. There's nothing magical about cheat sheets other than the fact that using them forces you to think through and structure your answers beforehand. Maybe you already do that - in which case this product isn't for you.


thank you, very useful feedback. i need to change the name -- others have raised the same point as you about it sounding too much like little shits - and also add more details.


if you want to quickly fix number 2 (overlapping text)

add some line-height to your banner class (40-45px looked good to me)


thanks. i thought that having a 'benefits' section on the main page would answer the question as to why use the cheat sheets, but i guess i can try to push that message through in an even stronger way.


thanks, this is great feedback. the product is physical note cards, i will clarify that on the website as well.



Nice article, though I'm a bit confused by what your startup does. You may want to make the benefits/problem you're trying to solve a bit more obvious on the main page.


yeah, most common feedback, that's why I decided to trim it down and we'll release a new, much clearer product that uses this beast as a backend, and has a clear message up front. just not ready yet. man i wish i knew this would pop up so much here on HN. THANKS!!!


this is pretty good. check out hyperink (YC'10?) also. they're doing something similar (not completely the same though).


love it - great job!
