The flashcard system is the stable, supported slice of BlueAccademy today. It gives you a structured way to work with decks, cards, review history, and scheduler-backed intervals. Starter content is seeded from the repository, and you can extend it with your own decks and cards.

​
How it works

At a high level:
  1. Decks group related cards.
  2. The backend determines which cards are due.
  3. You flip a card and rate recall.
  4. The scheduler writes the new progress state and next interval.
The implementation is currently backed by the Python/FastAPI backend in backend/app/services/flashcards/.

​
Card states

Cards move through four scheduler states:

​
Rating scale

After you flip a card, you choose one of four ratings:

​
Seeded content

Starter content is seeded from the main product repo:
  • backend/app/db/learning_content/decks.json
  • backend/app/db/learning_content/cards.json
Other learning-content files exist in the repo for in-progress areas, but only the current flashcard slice should be treated as supported.

​
Boundaries

Do not read this section as a promise about the rest of the platform.
  • Flashcards are supported now.
  • Guided terminal exercises are in progress.
  • CKAD simulations, end-to-end labs, chat, and hosted sandboxes are not yet supported.
