Flashdown: A terminal based Flashcard app using plain text files

I like terminal applications, though for flashcards/spaced repetition I personally think a GUI is more suitable. I often use non-text media in this (pictures, formatted math, formatted text). I like Anki's approach where the flashcards are HTML.

I agree, html works great for flashcards, and I make heavy use of images and audio

If you like Anki and GUIs you might also like Mochi [0]. It supports markdown, media, latex, etc. (and HTML if you really want to use it)

Agree. It is anyway written in Javascript so adding some html for GUI would be good thing to do.

There's also a native alternative in Rust - Speki[1].

The `quiz` program in `bsdgames` is basically this.

Last few times I've looked into spaced repitition, there still didn't appear to be a decent wikipedia style repository of freely licenced, collaboratively produced flashcard sets. Seemed like a missed opportunity.

Very nice. This looks nicer than one I made. https://github.com/JaDogg/sbx

Mine uses secret json in markdown HTML comment & SM2

Cool!
