Ankify 📝 → 🗃

Create Anki decks from Markdown notes

Let's say you've been reading a book about command line tools and took these notes:

---
title: My Notes
---

# How to exit Vim

`:wq`, `:x` or `ZZ`

# Cool tools
 * xargs
 * awk

Ankify will create a deck called My Notes with two cards:

Front	Back
How to exit Vim	:wq, :x or ZZ
Cool tools	xargs awk

You can import this deck into Anki.

Installation & usage

On the command-line

• read from stdin
• write to stdout
• refactor to classes
• build docker image
• publish image
• [] return stable guids for notes (see here)
