adempus2688y@Brosyl @1nfinite yeah. I could make a prototype in python. But i have to consider cross platform implementation as well -

If that were the case, i'd be writing all my apps in Python. 😄 It is cross platform for desktops, but not mobile. This is meant to be a mobile application. -
p32929845dThe interesting half of this is the parsing, not the flashcards. OCR on a phone photo of a glossy textbook page is genuinely rough - glare, curved spine, two columns - so I'd get that pipeline behaving before touching the card UI, otherwise you end up debugging study logic that's actually feeding on garbage text.
One thing that surprised me building a small browser drill game for mental math (mathfinity): almost all the learning value came from how fast a question could be answered and replaced, not from clever card design. Whatever you build, optimise for repetitions per minute.
