Show HN: Quantum Cyber Tarot

Hello everybody!

This is the first real web app that I have done the full thing with. Properly used Flask, setup Celery on the backend, got the terms and conditions reviewed by a lawyer, integrated a payment processor. The whole thing. Still working on the visual presentation, but that is a never ending task.

I had the idea for this while getting bored and thinking about things these chatbot APIs could probably handle. After coding up a Qiskit Aer Simulator deck shuffler and testing out some draws manually Quantum Cyber Tarot was born. The site offers simulated QRNG shuffles, true QRNG shuffles via the ANU API and interpretations courtesy of Gemini. I'm planning to add more features, something like the ability to throw in a question with a reading and maybe custom draw types.

The target user for this site is someone who has heard of tarot, is mildly interested in weird things, and likes a cyberpunk aesthetic (still working on that).

I'm somewhere between an amateur and journeyman developer without a formal CS education which has made it difficult to find a job in this market. While I look I've taken to trying to increase my experience with projects. And maybe make a little money too.

Critiques, questions, suggestions welcome.

If you sign up drop me a line at admin@qctarot.com and I'll add some credits to your account. The default is 1 shuffle credit and 1 reading credit per account so my API bills don't get too out of control.
