    Markdown to Anki converter

  • I've also created a similar tool using python. Markdown anki decks. It uses similar syntax to your tool. I've used it to create several hundred cards and it's quite convenient. One issue with mdanki is reimporting the same apkg creates duplicates. This basically makes mdanki useless since you can't track progress on cards you've created with markdown. Markdown-anki-decks gets around this by uniquely generating a hash for each question and using that as the unique id for the card. The limitation is if the question changes you lose progress but that seems reasonable. Markdown anki decks also handles some more advanced features of anki such as clozes. Lastly my tool can communicate with anki-connect which makes importing decks automatic. Anyway happy to see other people working on this. Just want to give you some sense of the features I've found useful.
