I wonder how this could be connected to some flash card system. I've been using anki for some months now to help me rememer things better (apps on linux, iOS and OSX and syncing via ankiweb). My notes are not linked so far as I have been looking for a solution that allows me keep all my notes in plain markdown files while linking them. I'm syncing the md files across all my devices via a self-hosted rpi-nextcloud and I want to be able to add new notes through my mobile. So obsidian.md looks like a good fit for me, I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for putting this together, erica & shida! However, I want to transfer as much of my second brain into my first brain, by actually memorizing linked notes. So the plugin 'open a random note' (https://youtu.be/cFYaWC_86W0?t=547 https://youtu.be/cFYaWC_86W0?t=547) goes a bit this way, but to optimize memorization it would need some system that makes use of spaced repetition and active recall like anki. Anyone, ideas? Or do you actually have plans that go that direction, erica?

This is a popular plugin idea right now, and I personally like it. Definitely not part of the core app though. Markdown has definition lists that can serve as front and back of the cards (https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#definition-lists https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#definition-li...), not as advanced as Anki but should suffice in most cases.

Although it's not markdown based, we're building https://www.remnote.io/ https://www.remnote.io/ for this purpose; it lets you take hierarchical, nonlinear, linked notes and internalize them with spaced repetition.

  +1 for remnote! I really love its research based spaced repetition functionality!

I saw Anki integration mentioned recently on the TiddlyWiki boards. TiddlyWiki was also mentioned elsewhere here. It can technically do a lot of the things Obsidian/Roam can with modifications. Stroll and Drift are examples of TiddlyWiki variants. I've been trying them out, there's a bit of a learning curve. Look it up on Google Groups.
