Card browser, preview and filter

This is more like an umbrella feature request with the overall goal to have better means to access, control and get insights from the flashcards generated by RemNote. The so called /cards option available right now is almost useless. I think we need at least three components to have better control over cards

  1. Card browser

  • A way to list all the cards in tabular format with useful columns like last review date, next review date, average time spent on the card so far, number of forgot responses, enabled or not etc. Something close to this existing Feature Request 12

  • A way to sort this cards table based on any of these columns

  • a way to browse all the cards in the knowledge base and also a way to browse cards only from a specific document (more explanation in Filter section)

  1. Card previewer

  • A way to just go through the cards in the browser as if one is reviewing them and a way to just move through the cards without reviewing or if there is a need, a way to give review response on a card (e.g. while just browsing through the cards I realized that I am not able to recollect one card, so I want to mark it as forgotten). Something close to this feedback from Martin 2 in this thread 2

  • This will enable many use cases like ’ practice cards in top down order from a document’, ‘to get a feel for your retention on all the cards in a document before an exam’, ‘skim through newly created cards and make sure that there are no typos or mistakes before the actual review session’ etc.

  1. Card filter

  • A way to get useful insights from cards. One use case of this is mentioned here 3.
    Here are a few other use cases

  • Filter all the cards with ease below 2.15

  • Filter all the cards having ‘forgot’ percentage greater than some value

  • Filter all the cards with average time per review above 45 seconds

  • Filter all the cards created today, this week, this month

  • Filter all the cards due tomorrow, next week

  • Filter all the cards from xyz document and got reviewed in the last 1 week

  • A filter option can even be used to uncover buggy cards that are not getting reviewed properly because of RemNote bugs

Implementation

  1. Maybe expand the existing cards 4 feature and make it powerful?

  2. Combine Search portals with Queries that can also handle cards?
