Ask HN: Show your failed projects and share a lesson you learned
I tried to build StackOverflow for flashcards (i.e. spaced repetition with collaboration as a first class feature.) After working on it on nights/weekends for ~2 years, I realized my architecture was shit. I started out with Blazor + F# + PostGres, but eventually I realized that syncing offline client DBs to the cloud was a very nontrivial problem. So I moved to event sourcing. Turns out that's not much better - I started to write my own IndexedDB wrapper, then said "you're a moron" and switched to CouchDb/PouchDb/RxDB. I also wanted to support plugins. I thought I figured that out with Blazor, but eventually I realized that more powerful plugins would want to manipulate the DOM directly. Blazor's virtual DOM kills that possibility. So, I'm off the dotnet ecosystem (I can't express how very, very sad I am to leave F#) and onto Typescript + SolidJS. I would've gone ReScript but that's tightly coupled to React which uses the VDom. Perhaps I should be using Svelte - I'm not solid on any of this new architecture yet. So my project has not yet entirely failed... I just realized I spent ~2 years on the wrong architecture.

Would anyone be interested in a social anki?
FWIW I'm building something from the ground up that'll have this sharing/social thang built in. I also (obviously) think that there's a need for collaborative tools for building and sharing cards, along with perhaps ways to publish your progress. For various reasons I'm not building it on Anki though.

If you had investors willing to write you a blank check to build the best spaced repetition program possible, how would you go about it? Asking for a friend based on a discussion we’ve been having.
I'm building the above thing here: https://github.com/dharmaturtle/cardoverflow

SAAS strategies for offline mode
Not only considered - I'm actively using it. You'll find people complaining about IndexedDB's API all over the internet. They're right - it's remarkably terrible. I'm using Dexie.JS as a wrapper over it.

Anyone in the Chicago area interested in a meet up?
I'm working on an open source edtech website. Prelaunch, but I wouldn't mind talking shop. In the western suburbs.

Confessions of a 0.8x Developer
My dude, speaking as someone who gets really happy when they find a functor in their code, I fully disagree with your last paragraph. You can do FP without knowing anything about the theory. Telling someone that they should read up on a dry, boring academic topic in order to be a better programmer is kinda a nonstarter. When you start throwing around stuff like "You should learn category theory and homotopy theory to really understand FP" only drives people away - it doesn't inspire curiosity (in most people).

Successful SaaS owner looking to take on other projects.
I'm working on an edtech thing - think StackOverflow/Wikipedia for flashcards. Basically, there's a way to remember an exponential amount of information - it just isn't popular because the existing software is terrible. Despite the terrible software, it is very popular among med students, since they have to cram so much info into their heads.

Show HN: Anki alternative with integrated notes and import/export
> I also hate that the anki shared decks web site does not encourage collaboration...
Dude, I'm building exactly this. I'm not basing it on git for various reasons, but I am using event sourcing, and git is basically event sourcing for code. My system will (eventually) allow pull requests, comments, upvotes/downvotes, and all kinds of community shenanigans on flash cards. It's months away from release... but here's the repo if you wanna have a look: https://github.com/dharmaturtle/cardoverflow
