Data import/export from external file?

Open singingwolfboy opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I've been looking for a simple flashcard app for iOS, and yours looks really nice! Thanks for building it, and releasing it open source. :)

However, I have a feature request. Is it possible to define a stack of flashcards in some kind of file, which could be imported and exported from the app? That would allow me to write flashcards on my computer (or generate them from a script), sync the file to my phone/ipad via the Files app, and then import it into the app. This is useful for sharing flashcard stacks with friends, or just to make it easier to define a large stack of flashcards without spending hours tapping a glass screen.

If you don't want to implement this yourself, maybe I could help out? I don't know Swift, but it would be fun to learn. Is there any documentation on how this project is structured? If you want to get other contributors to your open source project, developer documentation is essential.

Hi! Glad you like that app. I made the code open source long after I initially started the project (which was early in my days of writing apps). It does not include much documentation at all, but if you would like to give a swing at trying to implement an import function ( a few others have asked for this), that would be cool. Happy to answer any questions. If you'd like to add documentation, go for it!

Hi, @roymckenzie is this feature still available to implement?
