A simple flashcard app for personal use

Simple fleshcard app

What is this?

• This is a simple flash card app

Why was it made?

• During my Czech lessons, I often jot down new words and their meanings in a text editor. I realized that organizing them within an app would be more efficient than keeping them in a single large text file (after all, a JSON file serves the same purpose).
• While my primary motivation for creating this was language learning, it could be valuable for various memorization tasks as well.
• Work is almost fully JS/TS so wanted to do something in python for fun
