Flashcard Generator

The Flashcard Generator is a self-contained study deck builder: create cards with a front and a back, then flip through them in a dedicated Study mode that shows one card at a time. The Editor tab holds the deck as a scrollable list — each card has two text areas, a per-card delete button, and an Add card button that appends empty cards you can fill in. A badge keeps a running count, so a deck that ballooned while researching is immediately visible. The Study tab presents the current card as a large clickable surface: click it (or press Flip) to reveal the back, and use Prev and Next to step through the deck, which wraps around at both ends. Every card shows a front/back label and an empty-state message if you study a blank deck. Export saves the deck as pretty-printed JSON, and Import reads a JSON file back in, accepting any array of objects with string front and back fields and rebuilding them as fresh cards — a clean round-trip for moving decks between devices or classmates.

1. 1

   On the Editor tab, click Add card to append a new card to the deck.

2. 2

   Type the question or term in the Front textarea and the answer in the Back textarea.

3. 3

   Use Export to save the deck as flashcards.json, or Import to load a previously saved deck.

4. 4

   Switch to the Study tab and click the card to flip between front and back.

5. 5

   Navigate with Prev and Next, or Flip, while the badge shows your position in the deck.

• Building a vocabulary deck for a language exam and reviewing it on the bus.
• Preparing medical terms before a licensing exam, one definition at a time.
• Exporting a JSON deck to share with classmates who use the same tool.
• Rehearsing interview answers by putting the question on the front and keywords on the back.
• Memorizing historical dates with event fronts and year backs.
• Importing a pre-made deck from a study group and studying it without retyping.

• Keep one fact per card — cards with two questions are harder to recall and harder to judge.
• Put the prompt on the front and the shortest sufficient answer on the back, so flips stay fast during review.
• Export before clearing a deck; the JSON file is the only way to get cards back outside this page session.
• Remember the deck is not saved between visits — refreshing the browser returns the starter cards.
• For imports, ensure the file is an array of objects with string front and back fields, or cards will be filtered out.
• Use Prev and Next to cycle the deck when finishing a pass; navigation wraps around, which helps re-review weak cards.

• Write the answer first when creating a card — it is easier to frame a good question after.
• Use the wrap-around navigation to re-hit the first cards of a long deck in one session.
• Export after every big editing session so a refresh never costs you a deck.
• Reuse the import feature to alternate between decks saved as separate JSON files.
