Flash cards are cards with question on one side and answers on opposite, used for memorization. Exist several computer apps that automate the process and have recorded a lot of data. I expected electronic flashcard data to be useful as a cognitive test so I started a project to analyze the data that [[Anki]] records. Turns out the project will teach users about learning and allow them to experiment with and optimize their own learning process. This project also encourages studying by illustrating success in detail, similar to gamification.

The project is a work in progress and much of the intended functionality is not yet working. I cannot yet guarantee that each of the goals will be all that useful to the end user. Project will take about ten thousand lines of code to complete, so I expect to burn out a few times before it is done. No AI or LLM was used in the making of this project.

Simply adding colorful plots that Anki does not already have will encourage studying. I have found several potential measures of psychology as well.
Simply adding colorful plots that Anki does not already have will encourage many people to study more. Several variables may potentially correlate with moods and feelings towards Anki.
The goal of teaching is almost as easy to guarantee because analyzing the data requires delving into the learning process. This goal may actually be the most impactful.
