DeckLabs is a private study app I built for ABIM board prep. It takes dense review decks and turns them into clean, examiner-style flashcards. The front of each card is a real exam-style question and the back is a focused explanation. You log in, study by subject, flip through cards, rate how well you knew each one, and the app remembers where you left off so you can pick back up later.

The idea came from how I actually study. Long review documents are thorough but hard to drill from. Rewriting that material into one question per card, phrased the way the exam asks it, turns each card into a quick self-test instead of a wall of text to reread. Right now there are around 10,900 cards organized by subject, so I can work through one area at a time.

A few things it does:

• Examiner-style cards, with a real question on the front and the explanation on the back
• Cards grouped by subject so each study session stays focused
• A quick rating on every card to flag what needs another pass
• Saved progress that picks up exactly where you left off
• Private, members-only access behind a login
• Installs to a home screen and runs without a reliable connection

On the build side, it is a Next.js app on the App Router, styled with Tailwind CSS in a bold, high-contrast look. It ships as a progressive web app with a web manifest and offline support, and it deploys on Netlify.
