A spaced-repetition card

Inspiration

We wanted a system to improve memory retention. We came across the concept of Spaced Repetition and Ebbinghaus's works on it. This was our primary inspiration.

What it does

Takes any article from the web and uses AI to generate flashcards, which are designed in a way to improve memory retention.

How we built it

Svelte, Tailwind, Node.js, Express Mozilla's readability.

This program fetches articles with the Fetch API, parses it with Readability, and generates flashcards using an LLM — all while looking pretty!

Challenges we ran into

The LLMs we tried did not correctly output JSON. We spent hours trying and failing to write a JSON validator until a mentor suggested that we try a bigger LLM.
