Show HN: I Made Computer Science Themed Collectible Cards

Hi all, I made a Computer Science themed Collectible Cards deck. There are 36 cards in it ranging from simple data structures such as linked list and stack to more advanced ones such as bloom filter and merkle tree.

I'm a software engineer with a knack for drawing. A few years back I thought about making playing cards based on Computer Science concepts but I did not make it very far. When I revisited this idea again I decided to start with an MVP: Data Structure Collectible Cards. Each card would depict a data structure, state its space/running time complexities, and provide a brief description of said data structure (so in a way it's like Pokemon collectible/playing cards :))

I have a long roadmap that covers many Computer Science/Software Engineering concepts for both collectibles and playing cards. My hope is these decks could be something that spurs people's interest in Computer Science, or something that academics/engineers will feel proud displaying on their shelves (long shot, I know).

I'm in the process of figuring out fulfillment and kickstarter campaign. Once I have a gauge of people's interest from email sign-ups, I will put in a bulk order.

Feel free to navigate around my site; I've put in all my heart into designing it and I hope you will like it :)
