Babel Cards Initial Release (v0.1.0)
December 6, 2022
In my language learning efforts, I made an Anki alternative.
To keep it brief, I felt Anki was getting in my way, so I made my own, with blackjack. For a long time I used it without caring to release, but it has recently reached a point where it can be useful to someone else.
It’s made using brick, a TUI framework for Haskell, which facilitated working in an FRP style. For a storage back-end, it uses SQLite3, and the database filepath is configurable through an environment variable.
Features
- Reviewing in both standard and reverse mode.
- Spaced repetition scheduler with 4 different difficulties the user can respond with to influence how soon the card will recur.
- Comprehensive deck-building interface.
- Card disabling and re-enabling.
- Card editing.
- Card tagging. Tags appear when reviewing as they can disambiguate identical words.
- Card filtering by substring.
- Mouseless interface.
