Markdown Flashcards (mdfc) is software which lets you create and study flashcards using a markdown file.
The command allows you to learn in the terminal through spaced repetition.
If you have worked with Anki before (especially across multiple platforms), you might know how tedious it can be to create flashcards, to tag them, to format them, and also to browse them
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Just plain markdown.
- An adapted Leitner system with 4 difficulty levels instead of a binary system.
- The ability to study cards from one topic or all topics at once.
- The option to study cards in sequential or random order.
- Test mode, which allows you to test yourself with a number of random cards.
