Goal

This repository aims to standardize the creation of Flashcards and cards for Spaced Repetition in Markdown files.

Use Cases

• Create Portable decks of flashcards and cards for spaced repetition.
• Include flashcards and spaced repetition cards in notes (in tools like Obsidian)
• Non intrusive flashcards in GitHub README.md files to facilitate the retention of key concepts.

Quick Example
