This flash card application is in the final stages of development (the stage where it becomes open for users to try it out, which is very exciting for me to share hours of tuning to create this unique and desired flash card experience) Please follow these guidelines for the best experience:

• Read Instructions: Familiarize yourself with how the application works.
• Log In: Sign in to ensure your cards are saved and synchronized across devices.
• Back Up Cards: Use the Copy All Card Text button regularly and save the text in a document on your device.

2. Enter Back Text: Type the text for the back of the card in the Enter text for the back input box.
3. Add the Card: Click the Add Card button to add your flashcard to the deck. A random flashcard will be displayed on the screen.

Viewing and Flipping Flashcards

To view and flip flashcards:

1. View Flashcard: The current flashcard is shown with the front side visible by default.
2. Flip Flashcard: Click on the card to flip it and view the back side. Click again to return to the front.

Rating Flashcards

Rate flashcards based on your confidence:

1. Good: Click the Good button (green) if confident about the flashcard's content. This increases the card's success score.
2. Bad: Click the Bad button (red) if you find the flashcard challenging. This decreases the card's success score, making it appear more frequently for review.
3. Skip: Click the Skip button (gray) to view another random flashcard without affecting its score.

• 1: Flip the card
• 2: Mark as Good
• 3: Mark as Bad
• 4: Skip the card

Deleting Flashcards

To remove a flashcard:

1. Remove a Flashcard: Click the 🗑️ button on the flashcard. It will be permanently deleted from your deck, and a new flashcard will be shown if any are left.

Managing Flashcards

Manage your flashcard deck with these features:

1. Deck Size: Each flashcard shows the total number of cards in the deck in the top left corner, helping you track your progress.
2. Random Selection: Flashcards are shown randomly, with those having lower success values appearing more frequently. This weighted randomization helps you focus on the flashcards you struggle with the most.
3. Save and Load: Flashcards are automatically saved to your user account. When you revisit the application, your flashcards will be loaded, allowing you to continue seamlessly.

How the Flash Card Application Decides the Next Card

The system uses a weighted randomization algorithm to select the next flashcard:

1. Success Score: Each flashcard has a success score that changes based on your ratings. Cards with lower scores appear more frequently to help you review challenging content.
2. Recent Positive Changes: Cards that have recently improved on the positive side of zero have a higher likelihood of being selected.
3. Balanced Difficulty: The system ensures a mix of cards with varying difficulty levels, prioritizing those that need more review.

Using Gauges to Track Progress

The application includes several gauges to help you track your learning progress:

1. Balance Gauge: Displays the balance between positive and negative ratings. It helps you understand how much more content you find difficult compared to what you find easy.
2. Mana Gauge: Represents the percentage of cards with positive success scores. A higher percentage indicates better confidence in the overall deck.
3. Fog Gauge: Shows the percentage of cards that have been rated (either positively or negatively). It helps track how much of the deck you've interacted with.
4. Quest Gauge: Displays the total number of interactions with the cards. It increments by 1 each time you rate a card as Good or Bad. The current count is displayed in the center of the bar.

Managing the Deck

Manage your flashcards with these options:

1. Copy All Cards Text: Click the Copy All Cards Text button to copy the text of all flashcards to your clipboard.
2. Restart: Click the Restart button to reset all success numbers to 0. This action requires confirmation and helps in revisiting all cards from scratch.
3. Delete All Cards: Click the Delete All Cards button to remove all flashcards from your deck. This action requires confirmation and is irreversible.
