StarShine: Flashcards for Your STAR Stories

Preparing for behavioral interviews, I had a long document of STAR stories (Situation, Task, Action, Result) and no good way to get them into my head. Reading them over and over doesn’t stick; recalling them does.

StarShine is a free, open-source flashcard app built for exactly that:

  • Paste your doc and you’re done. Import stories from Markdown or JSON instead of typing them one by one.
  • Flashcard mode reveals Situation, Task, Action and Result one tap at a time.
  • Quiz mode shows only the Situation and makes you recall the rest before checking.
  • Practice anywhere. Mobile-first, works offline, no account, and it’s a single HTML file with no build tools.
