Interesting. I needed to study for job interviews recently and I had Claude Code 1-shot a flashcard CLI and then iterated on the flash card design in markdown.

Is there anything in particular that stands out about Space vs 1-shotting a flash card implementation?

Yes, there are many differences to a 1-shotted flashcard implementation:

- modern UI & UX

- offline-first mode, syncs between your devices

- your data belongs to you. You can either use the export function or use the CLI to export in every format you want

- subdecks (only nested to one depth, so that the UI is not confusing)

- images, videos and latex support

- work on decks with friends or share them with the world

- runs on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux

- latest algorithm FSRS6

- everything is free, except optional AI.

Interesting, I think I hit most of these except sundecks, images, and online features.

I really just wanted text markdown flash cards though. Pretty simple requirements on my end.
