Q: How does the SRS algorithm work?
A: The algorithm adjusts the interval between reviews based on how difficult you find each card, similar to Anki. Cards you find easy will appear less frequently than difficult ones.
Q: Will this replace Anki?
A: For many users, this plugin offers the key benefits of Anki without leaving your notes. For advanced Anki users, this might complement rather than replace Anki.
Q: Can I sync these cards with the actual Anki app?
A: Currently, there's no direct synchronization with the Anki app. This plugin works entirely within your vault.
Q: Where is the card data stored?
A: Card data is stored in the plugin's data folder within your vault.
