What Flashcard Maker does and how it behaves

You enter a question and its answer for each card you want, and the tool builds a two-sided deck from the pairs: one side shown, the other hidden until you ask to reveal it. Study sessions pull from a spaced-repetition schedule, so a card you know drifts further into the future while a card you miss comes back sooner, and progress per card is tracked as you go. When you want paper, the deck lays out as front-and-back sheets to cut apart. The usual surprise is the print step: two-sided cards only line up if the sheet comes out of the printer the way the layout expects.

How the result is produced

1

Building the deck

Every card has exactly two sides, a front and a back, and the deck is created from the pairs you provide: each pair becomes one card. The tool works only with what you type or paste, so the deck is only as good as the pairs you enter: typos, missing answers, and duplicated lines pass straight through into the cards. Check the pairs before studying.

2

The review schedule

Spaced repetition runs on intervals: each card carries its own next-review date, and the study queue is built from those dates, not from deck order. Answer correctly and the interval grows, so the card is due again later; answer wrong and the interval shrinks, so it returns sooner. The schedule is rebuilt from your answer history, so a card's next appearance depends on how you graded it last time.

Good uses

  • Exam prep from your own notes: turn each term and definition into a card, then drill the due queue until it empties the night before the test.
  • Foreign-language vocabulary, where the schedule does the work: words you keep missing resurface in the next session instead of being reviewed once and forgotten.
  • Producing a physical study set: print the deck as two-sided sheets, cut the cards apart, and study away from the screen.

Limits and checks

  • Study order is schedule-driven, not deck order. After the first session, the cards shown depend on past answers, so 'review the deck' means clearing the due queue, which may be a small fraction of the deck - and a card you know well may not appear for days.
  • The schedule trusts your self-grading. Mark a card correct when you actually guessed, and the interval grows, so it comes back later than it should; the tool sees only your rating, not your answer.
  • The deck stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or synced, so the deck is not on another device, and clearing site data may remove it; keep your original list of pairs if you want the deck back.

Common questions

Why is the session I'm given smaller than my whole deck?

Because the study queue is built from due dates, not deck order. Only cards whose review date has arrived appear, so a large deck may present a small session. A card you answer correctly today will be absent tomorrow and come back when its interval elapses. To review everything at once, you would have to study until the due queue is empty.

Does my deck get backed up online?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and does not upload your cards anywhere, so the deck exists only on the machine and browser where you created it. Once the page is loaded, studying and printing work offline. The trade-off: a different device or a cleared browser will not have your deck, so keep the source list of pairs somewhere.
