Show HN: Speki – Flashcards in Terminal
github.comI really love the current days of OSS, because they enable such software that may fit into the needs for a smaller usergroup. Great job! :)
As an Icelander, I approve of the name, which means "wisdom" in Icelandic.
Indeed! I'm norwgian so I was looking for a fitting norse word and came across this. I'm pretty jealous how you guys are still talking like our common ancestors x)
We called ZX Spectrum Speki, out of endearment.
This feels like the far end of the spectrum between super busy modern interfaces and interfaces that are going too far to be as lightweight and minimal as possible.
What ever happened to making stuff for a GUI that was simple and useful? It seems everything is feature packed or so simple it can be in a command line now.
I'd hazard to say that simple-looking but polished GUI programs are not so simple. The more expressive is the medium, the more small things you should take into account to avoid papercuts or visual unpleasantness.
Fantastic. Making a cli for reviewing my anki decks has been on my weekend project todo list for awhile now. Now I can just use Speki.
As a bonus you’ve done a much more polished job than I would have hacking it together :)
Glad you'll find it useful! Feel free to open an issue if you have any feedback later on ^^
This is great, I find the Anki interface has too much going on and feels quite outdated, will definitely try this instead.
I notice it has openai integration. What is it about?
On the add card tab or when youre reviewing an unfinshed card, it will generate an answer to whatever text is in the question box if you have added a key in your config file and you press alt+g!
Love it =)
