I’ve been experimenting with the Person–Action–Object (PAO) system — a memory technique that helps you memorize large sets of numbers by turning them into vivid mental images and short stories.
To make my own training smoother, I built a small app that helps me:
Assign a person, action, and object to each number
Generate random PAO combinations to visualize as stories
Practice recall with flashcards, quizzes, and timed drills
It’s helped me get faster and more consistent when memorizing number sequences — and made training a lot more fun.
I’d love feedback or ideas from anyone interested in memory systems, learning tools, or visualization training — especially on how to make the practice even more effective or gamified.
It’s not quite ready for production yet, but it’s actively being built and getting close.
Once it’s ready, I’ll send you an email at the address listed on your HN profile (or another one if you prefer), so you can try it on day one.
Thanks again for the support — I’m excited to share it with you soon!

Here’s a short demo of how I’m using it: https://youtube.com/shorts/S_nBfn87uRo
