RE:Cards

This is an open-source web application to study and manage flashcards. You can view the deployed version here.

Status

This app is in active development and is not at a release stage yet. Use at your own risk.

Why

I wanted to get more experience with React and Google Firebase, as well as look into PWAs (Progressive Web Apps). I decided to develop a PWA that will help students like me to organize and study flashcards with the help of spaced repetition algorithm.

  • React (v16, hooks)
  • Material-UI
  • Redux
  • PWA spec, service workers
• Backend:
  • Firebase Firestore
  • Firebase Hosting
• DevOps:
  • Github Actions

Roadmap

• Authentication
• User introduction & minimal tutorial
• Create decks
• Create cards
• Basic types of cards
  • Math equations
  • Multiple choice
• Study cards manually
• Study cards using spaced repetition
• Card mastery
• "Days studying in a row"
• Reminders
• Advanced card types
  • Photos
  • Match
• Prompt to install PWA
• Live decks
• Shared decks
• AI-assisted spaced repetition algorithm
• ???

Keys & Development

You will note that the firestore.js file contains keys to access the Firestore API. This is not a mistake, there is no point in concealing them as anyone can access them if you open the live website and look in the developer console. There are 2 sets of keys there: for production and development. Production is only allowed to operate on live domain, development only allowed to operate on localhost.
