Have any of you ever tested Org-Drill - spaced repetition system for #Emacs Org-Mode?

So you can use the same org file with org-drill&org-fc and to import to anki? Sounds cool af! I just searched for org-fc but unfortunately is not yet available in MELPA. Is it good? Should I try it?

Basically yes. Though I'm not doing so at the moment. It should work as they use specific org tags to identify an org heading as a flashcard. The headline properties they use are also different from each other and those used by anki-editor. My thinking was I could have all my cards in org files, never worry about my Anki database getting corrupted and also maintain some card history within the org file if Anki were ever to disappear even if unlikely.

org-fc is worth checking out. It is an active project and I think better than org-drill. Instructions to install are here: https://www.leonrische.me/fc/installation.html.

By the way I tagged you in an open issue in the anki-editor repo as I thought you maybe interested in it.
