Hello Parley team.

Firstly thanks for the application - looks very nice - although for me a bit is missing for my usecase.

What I really would need and like to see are graphical flashcards.

I am not training words but math. So I would need an approach very close to normal flashcards. Both sides should be writeable with a graphic file (e.g. png,jpg,latex). I would like parley to show me the front and giving me the possibility to see the back side. I should then tell him if I knew this flashcard enough or if I did not.

So parley will start to ask me the flashcards more that I am unsure of.

Keep up the good work !

You can already add images to the entries, and I can enable using images in flashcards tonight (in svn trunk, at least). :)

What would be the best control scheme for this? Two (independent) check-boxes: 
"Show image on front" and "Show image on back"?

Thanks for your feedback,
David

Wow tonight would be fast :) (although I would need more time to get the
cvs running on my machine / I am in holiday soon)

I am not sure about your question about the two checkboxes. I think on
is enough for the backside. Maybe I write down an exact scenario and you
know best how to implement this use case ...
--------------------------------------------------
Well, the image on the front should be shown as the question. (would be
nice if it could contain latex ...)

To make an example there could be written:
1) analysis/tailerexpansion
or 
2) cagd/bezierfunction/definition (definition,properties,recursion)

So I would write something to let me know what exactly I should
remember.

Then I would try to remember, maybe on a paper - rewrite the formulas.
After all click "showbackImage" and look if I had everything and it was
correct. If it was not correct, tell the computer I did not know and he
will ask me this one more often in the next time - like the normal
flashcard approach.
There could be two possibilities - I was not able to reproduce the
answer or my anser was not precise enough - so I would write the
question preciser.

So I would have on the back the
1)
- tailorexpansion
	- with an error estimation
	- with the formular where the error is written by an extra term
- maybe some small theorem when tailor expansion is applicable (if it
would be too much for an extra card)

2) 
- definition of bezier splines
- properties like sum to 1
- positive in (0,1)
...
- recursion formular

greets,
Olli

There is already a column in the editor where you can write latex.  I haven't tested it yet but will do that tonight.  It's supposed to render into a picture by itself. That should be very close to what you want.
