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\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\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)
