01The problem

Studying for technical exams means re-reading the same material until it sticks. Active recall works better, but most quiz tools are tied to a specific course or platform.

02Approach & architecture

Built a self-hosted quiz application supporting custom question banks, randomized order, and immediate feedback. Backend in Django, mobile-friendly UI, exportable progress reports.

03Results

Measured What the work shows

Personal study tool used to drill exam material with active recall. Pattern reusable for any quiz-based learning workflow.

04Lessons

The hardest part of packaging isn’t the code — it’s the metadata. Getting pyproject.toml, console-scripts, and wheel-build configuration right is the actual learning curve, not writing the application itself.
