Hey all, one half of the team behind FlashTabs here. This is our second product of #SixBySix (six projects in six months) after HowsItGoin (www.producthunt.com/posts/howsit...). We're building in public for the six months, you can read about how we built 90% of this in 48 hours here: http://wearecontrast.com/2015/02... The idea behind FlashTabs is to allow you to create a deck of flashcards and be presented with them every time you open a new tab, making learning a part of your everyday life, something you don't have to try and remember to do any more. Any thoughts/comments/criticism gladly received! Thanks.

@fredrivett This is neat. Putting learning content in a new tab is a smart idea. How are things going after a few months? (I'll second the vote for a marketplace or way to share decks!)

@ar_turnbull Hey Andrew, thanks for the kind words & feedback! Things are going well now, with over 2,300 active users (2,299 more than we expected). Due to other circumstances (starting a new job, launching other projects) we've not been able to give FlashTabs the love it deserves, so we're looking to do a hackathon weekend soon where we'll try and smash out some features & improvements our users have been asking for. We're also open to others getting involved so if anyone has some skills and an interest in getting involved just let us know :)

Neat - hoping there'll be a deck exchange/marketplace. Love to be "lazy" and just download interesting decks to learn something new.

@shobe Definitely Matt! That's our biggest aim on our feature list. I totally agree that it'd be nice to have curated decks from experts, so we'll be looking into that in the weeks and months to come. If you've any other feedback don't hesitate to get in touch.

Good addition to one of my favorite collections by @chrismessina, #ChromeNewTabs. Increasingly I'm seeing creative uses of the browser new tab.

@chrismessina @rrhoover Hey thanks Ryan, appreciate the kind words. It's still very limited as it was a 10 day project, but lots of ways we can add to it in the weeks & months to come to make it even more useful for people. It was actually @chrismessina's #ChromeNewTabs collection that inspired this!

I am for sure going to use this. I love the idea of being able to have flash cards for things I am studying so easily. Great idea and plenty of uses for it.

@robertwilliger Hey Robert, thanks for the kind words. I'm biased but I totally agree, there's a lot of potential in an app like this. Be sure to let me know if you have any thoughts/feedback.
