I want to be upfront: this site started as a personal scratch pad, not a product. I'm writing this so you know what it is and what it isn't.
The problem I was trying to solve
I was studying for the CKAD last year. I had the usual setup: YouTube and the Killer Shell sessions. The hands-on stuff is irreplaceable for a practical exam like CKAD, but I kept running into a gap in my prep.
When I was on the tube, waiting for the ad breaks on the tv to finish, or had ten minutes before a meeting. Those moments where you want to do something useful but can't exactly spin up a Kubernetes cluster on your phone. I wanted quick, focused questions I could run through on a small screen to keep the concepts fresh. Things like: "what does a readiness probe do vs a liveness probe?", or "which field do you set to limit a container's memory?". Stuff you need to know cold, not stuff that requires typing out YAML.
I couldn't find anything that fit. Most quiz sites feel like they were designed in 2009 and haven't been touched since. The questions were either too easy, badly formatted on mobile, or just wrong. So I built my own.
What I actually built
The first version was simple. A JSON file with about 40 questions, a bit of React to shuffle and display them, and some localStorage to track which ones I'd seen. It lived on my laptop.
It worked. I passed the CKAD.
After the exam I figured I'd tidy it up, write more questions, and maybe share it. "Tidying up" turned into adding proper progress tracking, multiple question sets, a login system, payments so I could cover the hosting, and eventually adding other exams beyond CKAD. You know how it goes.
Why I'm sharing it
Honestly? Because I would have used something like this and it didn't exist. If you're studying for CKAD, CKA, the AWS Solutions Architect, or any of the other certs on here, having a few good multiple-choice questions you can run through on your phone is genuinely useful. Not as a replacement for hands-on practice, but as a complement to it.
The free tier gives you a full question set to try. If you find it useful, the paid access unlocks everything else.
What I'd love to hear from you
This is still a small, personal project. I'm not a full-time product team, I'm a developer who built a thing I wanted to exist and cleaned it up enough to share.
That means your feedback actually matters and will directly shape what gets built next. Is there a certification you'd want to see covered? A feature that would make it more useful, like spaced repetition, explanations on wrong answers, or timed modes? Something that annoys you about the current experience?
