How many hours do you lose hunting through old test papers for that one specific exam problem? As a university lecturer, this drove me crazy. So I built Qubase to fix it. It parses your worksheets into an organized, searchable question bank. Never dig through files again. Qubase.ai #professors

Every semester, exam prep meant digging through 50+ messy PDF worksheets to find the right questions. I built Qubase with fellow educators. Its AI turns old worksheets into a searchable, categorized question bank instantly. Save hours this term: qubase.ai

Every exam cycle, I use entire weekends retyping equations and checking if I repeated last year's problems. It drove me crazy. I ended up creating an app to streamline the process. It parses PDFs into organized question data: qubase.ai

This product video was made with Apple Keynote and DaVinci AI. The AI voice-over cost me just a few dollars. It would have been cheaper if I had made the audio before making the video. Adapting the video to the audio should be a better strategy. youtu.be/hZkpYDbQYxM

Endless PDF folders. Zero searchability. As a lecturer, organizing my worksheet assets was my most frustrating admin task. So I built Qubase. It instantly transforms raw course worksheets into an organized question database, saving hours on exam prep: www.qubase.ai

Sharing teaching materials shouldn’t feel like digital archaeology. Manually searching folders to track what’s already been tested is exhausting. Qubase turns your worksheets into a smart question database. apps.apple.com/app/apple-st...

Does sharing exam prep with colleagues still mean digging through messy folders named Midterm_2022_FINAL_v2? I got tired of opening 20 files just to find one question. So I built Qubase. It turns PDFs into a shared, searchable question database: qubase.ai

When a mid term test was over two weeks ago, and the scores and suggested solutions have been released, a student send you a medical certificate asking for make up. That ruins your day…..

As an educator, I hate sharing past exam papers. Colleagues have to comb through dozens of files to find the right questions to use. That’s why I create Qubase. Our AI indexes every question into an accessible database. Find and reuse materials seamlessly: qubase.ai

We hoard hundreds of worksheet files, but when it’s time to write a final exam, we still start from scratch because finding past questions takes too long. Qubase helps you reuse quality content easily. apps.apple.com/app/apple-st...

Every exam season, I spend hours digging through messy folders to find that one specific question I wrote two years ago. Qubase parses PDFs worksheets with complex layout into a searchable question bank instantly. apps.apple.com/app/apple-st...

Every exam cycle, I use entire weekends retyping equations and checking if I repeated last year's problems. It drove me crazy. I ended up creating an app to streamline the process. It parses PDFs into organized question database: qubase.ai

Why are professors still manually sorting test questions in 2025? Designed by a fellow university teacher, it organizes worksheets into a smart question repository that you can search, sort, and compare questions. See for yourself: qubase.ai

Writing finals shouldn't mean drowning in 40 different PDF files. Qubase is built by educators to convert old worksheets into a dynamic, searchable question bank instantly. Track usage, spot duplicates, and build exams faster. Try it out: www.qubase.ai

My desktop was a graveyard of folders named 'Quiz_2022_final_v3.pdf'. Searching for a particular question I used in the past drains much of my energy. This app saves my day: www.qubase.ai

Every semester, the same dread: did I accidentally reuse this exact exam question last year? Tracking question frequency across messy folders is a headache. Qubase turns your old worksheets into an intelligent question database. It tracks reuse frequency: qubase.ai

Qubase.ai can transcribe hand-written, scanned math worksheets into TeX code and store it in a question bank for you to search, sort and compare. Ask me anything?

Accidentally reused the exact same midterm question two semesters in a row? We've all been there. Built by educators for higher ed, Qubase parses your legacy worksheets into a smart database that tracks question history and prevents duplicate testing: www.qubase.ai

"Did I use this exact question on last term's final?" If you teach in higher ed, you know that fear of using the same questions in an assessment. I built an app to fix this. It scans your worksheets and tracks question usage across semesters. Build balanced tests effortlessly. www.qubase.ai

Midterms are coming, and you're digging through 5 years of folders just to build one exam paper. Stop manually copying equations and tables. Qubase is built to end this nightmare. Import your worksheet assets, and our AI instantly creates a searchable question database in one place. www.qubase.ai

Every educator’s nightmare: Spending hours looking for that one test question you wrote 2 years ago, only to give up and retype it from scratch. 🫠 I have built qubase.ai that helps automating the task. Ask me anything here.

App Store Connect now comes with a beautiful animation when your app launches: qubase.ai

I have been teaching for a while. Every semester I have to dig up a pile of files to look for questions to reuse. It has become out of control recently. So, I develop an app to solve the problem. If you are facing the same problem, check it out: qubase.ai. Ask me any question here

I have all classes in the late afternoon this semester. What about your guys? Do you like afternoon or morning classes? #university #professor

I’m still convinced there has to be a smarter way to manage grades than clicking through 100 sub-menus in Moodle. It feels like we have AI tools everywhere else, but our main teaching hub does not move fast enough to catch-up. Any suggestion on how Moodle can be automated by agents?

Fellow lectures and professors: There is nothing more exhausting than spending hours on low-value, mechanical tasks when we have the technology to automate them in minutes. How much of your weekly workload feels like busywork, and what's the one thing you wish you could eliminate tomorrow?

8 years for teaching math finance. 70+ worksheets scattered around for years. Now loaded in one place. Pretty satisfied.

In one of my courses, it has open book tests. Previously I allowed them to use iPad or phone for checking notes. Almost all of them did not print out slides: It saved a lot of paper. Now, checking device is banned because of the AI thing, they have to print notes, a big step backwards…

Here is my teaching schedule. Monday: 1-hr + 3-hr lectures; Friday: 4-hr lecture. Every time it is like running a marathon. How about your guys?

In Xcode’s Organizer, would you do both or just distribute?

Any reason why the iOS app review status not changing for almost a week? While the Mac version has been rejected 2 times, not sure if they are related

Second rejection…..

Early June: Making an app for iOS 26. Late August: Not launching yet, already adapting it to iOS 27 October: Adapt it to the duo. Spend $1,999 to buy the duo to make sure the app runs on it without UI problem. Not even have any revenue yet …… 😪

bsky.app/profile/macr... Do I need one for development? It breaks my bank account. 😰

Fingers crossed. Hope no rejection

Educators, tell me your pain points in preparing assessments materials every semester. Disclosure: I develop qubase.ai, an app that helps educators to organise their worksheet archive / question bank

For an iOS or Android app, what proportion of AI-generated code would make it a vibe-coded app? Is there any consensus on this?

Being a solo developer is tiring. Spending several months building the app. Then, producing marketing materials for the App Store and website. Three platforms required 30 screenshots, each of which has a tagline selling the feature. I can code for 10 hours a day, but marketing is too tough for me.

Building an app for educators to turn their existing worksheets into a question bank so that they can find questions (to reuse) more easily #EdTech

Any developers working on an EdTech project? Just to say hi
