anki-editor VS jupyter

Also, I sometimes use flashcards, they really help me to remember the material. I am creating flashcards using a package called anki-edior. My flashcards are my notes. I don't need to go somewhere else to search through my flashcards.

If you are interested in the spaced-repetition learning approach, you can try org-drill and you will use Emacs for notes production and repetition; if, like me, you prefer integrating your workflow with Anki, there's anki-editor, "a minor mode for making Anki cards with Org": the repo here. This way, you will create notes in Emacs but the repetition will be done in Anki (which means you can use Ankidroid on your phone for studying what you wrote in Emacs)

I do however create all my decks in Emacs' Org mode using louietan/anki-editor and export to Anki via the plugin FooSoft/anki-connect. This way I never worry about my decks getting corrupted. I actually just have one large deck but anki-editor allows me to separate my deck into separate org files which is convenient.

Sure. I write my cards in Emacs' Org mode and specifically the louietan/anki-editor minor mode. Org mode is a markup file format like markdown (but superior IMHO as it is more intuitive). With anki-editor I can export my plaintext cards to HTML by Org-mode’s HTML export backend (it has many others) with specific markers (e.g. latex) translated to Anki style. I do this with Anki open and the Anki-Connect plugin installed. It is this plugin that allows the anki-editor to push the cards to Anki. Within Anki I use the provided sync function to sync my cards with my phone. I only ever edit the cards via Emacs as anki-editor only pushes to Anki it does not pull from it.

A blog post would be much more useful for this kind of thing. Here's a similar post using anki-editor:

I write my cards in plaintext (Emacs Org mode via anki-editor) and push them to Anki via anki-connect. The advantages for me are:

create Anki cards with Emac's anki-editor and push them to Anki with anki-connect. There is also a markdown equivalent of anki-editor if you prefer that format plus packages to perform your SRS within Emacs itself such as org-drill, org-fc and pamparam.

Here's my use case: I'm maintaining Anki notes in my Org files using the anki-editor package. Every few hours during the day, I like to sync my Anki notes from Emacs to Anki using the following code:

For learning: I put the ones I can't "just" remember into Anki, a FOSS flashcard system based on spaced repetition (for example, the front of a card would be "emacs org: how do you toggle a checkbox?", and the back would be "C-c C-x C-b"). I use anki-editor-mode to make this faster. Then I do an Anki review every day.

For ipython, you'd better use some more specialized package like https://github.com/emacs-jupyter/jupyter, not the generic python support.

I have seen this thread, but I don't want to have to put an extra source block to set the renderers in every org file where I use plotly. Does anyone have a good solution for the moment? Any help is appreciated.

Should no one take you up on the bounty, I suggest trying emacs-jupyter instead. I've had better luck with it in the past.

For anybody following along with the examples, a few points/tips that might help newcomers:

1. (By default) before you can use Python source blocks, you need to have the Org Babel Python functionality loaded which is most easily done by evaluating the elisp (require 'ob-babel), but there are other ways also [1].

2. The first example, which uses the print function, will not output anything because the Python blocks by default are evaluated inside a function body and the return value is returned to Org [2]. To return the printed output instead, you need the header argument ":results output". There is an example of this syntax later in TFA.

3. If you are serious about replacing (or complementing) other Jupyter tools with Org mode, you might want to eventually look at emacs-jupyter [3], which provides a more advanced handling of outputs and also supports other (i.e. non-Python) kernels.

Also, I don't think I've ever seen anything like the debugging example and when I tried to replicate it out of curiosity, the block simply failed with a bdb.BdbQuit exception. Am I missing something? What is supposed to happen?

Emacs, Sublime Text 3 and Atom Pulsar can all do this with arbitrary Jupyter kernels with the emacs-jupyter/code-cells, helium and hydrogen packages, respectively.

You can use emacs as a jupyter client if that would help in your case https://github.com/nnicandro/emacs-jupyter

I've been using code-cells together with emacs-jupyter, the combination of the two lets you work pretty much identically as you would in Atom with Hydrogen, Sublime with Helium, or VSCode with the Jupyter Python extension; you just delimit code cells with #%% and execute in a separate Jupyter REPL buffer. It does require some getting used to the key bindings though (or some tweaking to make it more similar to what you're used to).
