An interactive web-based flashcard application for studying DevOps-related topics.

• Card flagging system for difficult questions
• Progress tracking
• Topic-wise organization
• Numbered navigation
• Flagged cards review mode

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <your-repo-url>
cd flashcard

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

python -m venv venv
# On Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# On Unix or MacOS:
source venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the application:

python app.py

5. Open your browser and navigate to:

http://localhost:5000

Adding New Topics

1. Create a new directory in the questions folder:

mkdir questions/your_topic_name

2. Create a questions.py file in the new directory with the following format:

questions = [
    {
        "question": """Your question here?""",
        "answer": """Your detailed answer here.""",
        "topic": "your_topic_name"
    }
]

The application supports both Python (.py) and JSON (.json) formats for questions. The Python format is preferred as it provides better readability with triple quotes and native Python syntax.
