@Sid42590854 Best to open an issue on GitHub, and we can take it from there.

@Siv_uk @neuracache Ah, thanks for giving my script a mention! And it's nice to see other people using Obsidian for their studies.

5) I can export my Obsidian questions note files to Anki and NeuraCache to revise using spaced repetition and active recall. @neuracache @Pseudonium

@sughanthans1 @obsdmd Yep - if you run the script over a file that already has some cards the script has added, it'll auto-update the fields.
English
@obsdmd @pseudonium This looks incredible. What happens if I update some content in Obsidian, will it be reflected in Anki card as well?
English
🗃️ Do you use Anki along with Obsidian? 🗃️
Try this great script to add Anki cards directly from Markdown files by @pseudonium :
github.com/Pseudonium/Obs…

@obsdmd Thanks for the shoutout! Wouldn’t have even gotten started if Obsidian didn’t store files locally.

@andy_matuschak @obsdmd I have partially solved this in a later update that wraps the ID line in a HTML comment, so that it’s invisible when viewing the note. It’s also much easier to automate the script now - it can scan subfolders recursively and start Anki if it isn’t already running.
English
@pseudonium @obsdmd It’s funny: my approach has been to create a format which has very minimal impact on the prose notes—almost trying to make the SRS cards invisible. You’ve taken quite an opposite approach!
How does it seem to affect how it feels to work with the prose?

One of my big tasks for the next year will be to better understand how to write well in the mnemonic medium—and how to help other authors write well. Starting to collect notes here: notes.andymatuschak.org/z42J1vxsMjhkdb…

@michael_nielsen Is this the sort of thing you might put into Anki? Or is it enough to just write it and keep it in your notes system?
English
I tried a little bit of mathematical thinking here, for instance: twitter.com/michael_nielse…
It might be interesting to try something more in depth.

When trying to understand a scientific or mathematical result, I often find it helpful to write what I call discovery fiction.

"Twitter is a way to care about everything" - this has been resonating in my head.
Agnes Callard@AgnesCallard
Me to my friend who is a big EC fan: is this true? My friend: why do you ask? Me: someone on twitter said so. My friend: but why do you care?-- you don't even like EC Me: you don't understand twitter--twitter is a way to care about everything.

@zimbatsu @cgpgrey @readwiseio @obsdmd If you're interested in spaced repetition you might want to check out a script I made that integrates Obsidian and Anki - github.com/Pseudonium/Obs…
English
@andy_matuschak @obsdmd I also see you added my script to your notes - thank you! I worry I was misleading - you still have to run the script manually over the file to update it, like Ankify.
English
@andy_matuschak @obsdmd Speaking of - just added a 'CurlyCloze' option inspired by your cloze syntax!
English
@andy_matuschak @obsdmd A big part of it is also convenience for the script, so that I can automatically move cards to the right deck, add tags, update the fields etc
English
@andy_matuschak @obsdmd No problem! You might want to take a look at the regex.md file - I've implemented custom syntax (including a question-answer format) using regular expressions, so it's very customisable.
English
@pseudonium @obsdmd Goodness, this is quite elaborate! Thank you for sharing.
English
@andy_matuschak @obsdmd I guess there's no harm in me publishing the link to the Github repository - github.com/Pseudonium/Obs…
English
@andy_matuschak @obsdmd As for the changing cards, my guess is that it helps with finding related cards since notes are linked together naturally. For example, you can see what lemmas/theorems are used to build up a more powerful theorem, and access those notes directly.
English
@andy_matuschak @obsdmd One of the arguments for such systems is that it provides a layer of organisation beyond tags and folders that more closely approximates how the knowledge is actually stored. I'm hoping to carry over the benefits of that to my Anki cards.
English
@andy_matuschak 1/2 Something I've been experimenting with as a partial solution to this is embedding my flashcards in a wiki-like system (currently using @obsdmd ), and adding them to Anki from there (using a script I whipped up).
