    Show HN: Snippet Curator, Evernote alternative and SingleFile viewer for notes

    Unlike most people who use Evernote for taking notes, I use Evernote for saving and organizing all kinds of things (images, web clips, bookmark links). Snippet Curator is something…

    I think I'll add a separate paragraph or table from the videos for written instructions. Providers can also copy and paste that into their patient instruction print out as well.

    Thanks for the feedback! My understanding is that for dry powder inhalers you have to take a sharp breath instead of slow deep breath like for MDI, thus the confusion for patients …

    Motivation: Inhaler names and types are confusing. There is no good one place for inhaler types for medical professions and instructions for patients. There are printed posters you…

    Since medical school years ago, I have been trying to find way for long term knowledge management and retention. I finally ended up with Obsidian on the desktop, but it's still dif…

    I keep everything in Evernote. The clipper is so good that I only have to clip the part of the page I care about, whether it's comments or pictures or whole article. It has fantast…

    In short it doesn't let me do what I wanted. I just wanted to keep my notes as is and add cards if I need to. I don't want to change lines of notes and reformat things just to make…

    Right now it's only one directional from note to cards. To be bidirectional I would have to interact with the database directly. Theoretically it's possible but would just take a l…

    I think this is more for people who are already in the Anki ecosystem and use it extensively. Anki can take a while to get used to. And there are a lot of articles/videos tutorials…

    That's a really well written app. I'll look at it more. I briefly tried to work with the database but found it really confusing and would take a lot of time trying to work with

    I tried it before. It has very strict formatting. Meaning to make a card I have to change the way the note looks. I just want to be able to add cards quickly without messing with t…

    That's why I like my note taking first approach to making cards. If I just focus on making high quality notes, then the cards are automatically updated over time.

    Another thing that made me end up choosing Javascript is because I could define an user interface and then use it over and over. For this project, I first defined how each componen…

    This is really cool as well! It's fun to see how different people have different solutions to the same problem.

    The XML comments are just my personal preference because it's fast. I have it bound to ",," so that with 2 taps, I could make a card in a few seconds. It's also supported automatic…

    this is really cool. Does the cards get automatically added to the Anki database? What do you do if you want to add to different decks?

    Definitely, thank you. Ankify really was present in every step of me learning programming. I think I just got caught at a bad time with Python. It was a few years ago, and Python w…

    Yes, Ankify adds an ID to the front of the card so that on re-import, cards are updated instead of re-added. I'm careful about making changes to the MD file. The ID are only added …

    I agree with "automate the boring stuff with python." It's actually the first book I used to learn Python. I think it would be good if you learn it prior to going in. You just won'…
