Flashcard Editor

Introduction

The Flashcard Editor is an unofficial editor for Standard Notes, a free, open-source, and end-to-end encrypted notes app. It is currently in development and not ready for use. 😄

You can find the beta demo at demo.flashcardeditor.com.

The editor supports Markdown, $\LaTeX/ \KaTeX$, emoji codes, syntax highlighting, inline HTML, table of contents, footnotes, auto-linking, and more.

Features

• Markdown support provided by Unified/Remark
• $\LaTeX/\KaTeX$ provided by hosted KaTeX
• Emojis provided by emoji codes
• Google Code and GitHub Gist flavored Syntax Highlighting provided by highlight.js stylesheets
• Table of Contents (links don't work on mobile) provided by Remark TOC
• Footnotes (links don't work on mobile) provided by Remark footnotes
• Notes are stored in plaintext (great for longevity)
