Interactive Flashcards

Terminal flashcard app. Pick a CSV deck, answer questions, and review a summary. Optional AI evaluation is enabled when OPENROUTER_API_KEY is set.

Why?

I started to use NotebookLM to generate flashcards and review them, but it lacks a way of typing and storing the answers which I personally find useful to remember the things I'm studying. So I made this (entirely by vibe coding because I was studying for an exam in the meantime).

CSV format

Each line is a pair: question,answer. Quotes are supported for commas and quotes.

Example:

"What is 2+2?","4"
"What does a comma do?","It separates fields"

Storage

• Flashcards: ~/.local/share/interactive-flashcards/flashcards/*.csv (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.local\share\interactive-flashcards\flashcards\*.csv)
• Database: ~/.local/share/interactive-flashcards/if.db (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.local\share\interactive-flashcards\if.db)
• Logs: ~/.local/share/interactive-flashcards/ai_debug.log (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.local\share\interactive-flashcards\ai_debug.log)

Run

1. Clone the repo and cd into it.
2. Build with cargo build --release.
3. Run with cargo run. To enable AI evaluation, set OPENROUTER_API_KEY env var before running or run

OPENROUTER_API_KEY="..." cargo run

Warning

Most of the application was vibe-coded, it contains SLOP and some bugs.
