Question builder for spaced repetition software, with a bookmarklet
Estimated time: 3 hours
I use spaced repetition software (Mnemosyne) to memorize information. One key type of question is with blanks: "The American Civil War took place from ____ to ____", for example. One source for information-to-be-questions is, of course, the web.
What I'd like to create is a small bookmarklet which allows me to select text in the page, add it to a bank of question floating somewhere, remove the words (but remember the answers), and, depending on who's involved, either:
- Produce them as a list of Q/A in a textarea, which can be parsed by the software as import
- Save them server-side, and have more options for the format: how to group questions together etc.
I'd personally attack the JavaScript side of things (with jQuery), but I can do the server side as well, using Django.
