About

Reps is a clean, simple, and no-fluff spaced repetition app that supports syntax highlighting. Using Markdown, you can write code lines or blocks that are color-coded within your flashcards. This helps to write questions that involve code, which are not available out of the box in other spaced repetition apps.

Why Build This?

This app was built as a replacement for a widely-known spaced repetition app that I previously used, Anki. I primarily used Anki to practice retaining information on programming fundamentals, but I had a few pain points with it:

[1] The UI is not to my liking. [2] It is not convenient to type code lines or blocks inside flashcards, you have to use the code tag. [3] I only want to use simple features, but Anki comes with way too much of them.

And so, Reps was built. This app was not built for a wider audience in mind, but more so a personal app to solve the problems I've mentioned prior. It also serves as an opportunity to learn new technologies I haven't dabbled with before. I intend to use this app daily as a replacement for Anki.
