Card Types

FluentFlash supports three card types, each optimized for different kinds of knowledge.

Basic Cards

The standard question-and-answer format.

Front: A question or term

Back: The answer or definition

Best for: Conceptual questions, "why" and "how" questions, comparisons

Cloze Deletion Cards

Fill-in-the-blank cards that test specific facts within context.

Format: "The {{c1::mitochondria}} is the powerhouse of the cell"

During study, the hidden text is shown as [...] — you try to recall it

Best for: Definitions, key terms, dates, formulas, specific facts

Creating Cloze Cards

When adding a card, select "Cloze" as the card type

Type your text

Select the word(s) you want to hide

Click "Make Cloze" — it wraps the selection in {{c1::}}

You can add multiple cloze deletions (c1, c2, c3) in the same card

Reversed Cards

Automatically creates cards in both directions — term→definition AND definition→term.

Best for: Vocabulary, translations, terminology

When the AI detects vocabulary content, it often creates reversed cards automatically

Rich Text Editor

The card editor supports rich text formatting on both the front and back of cards:

Bold and Italic text for emphasis

Bullet lists and numbered lists for structured content

Inline code and code blocks for programming topics

2,000-character limit per field with a live character counter

All formatting is backward-compatible — older plain-text cards display normally

Card Preview

When editing a card, a live flashcard preview appears above the form. It updates as you type and you can click it to flip between front and back — so you see exactly how it will look during study.

Undo / Redo

Cmd+Z (Ctrl+Z) to undo changes in the card editor

Cmd+Shift+Z (Ctrl+Shift+Z) to redo

Visual undo/redo buttons are also shown next to the Save button

Supports up to 50 steps of history for both front and back fields
