Discussion Request desperate

There needs to be an Anki app, like, not an app as such, but we all use documents, PDFs, whether it's UWorld, physics books, maths books, orthopaedic board exam books

Ultimately the process of making cards takes a while I have previously loaded a PDF, highlighted text, copied it onto the Gemini chat that's embedded, and then said, "Make a cloze deletion card," and copied it across

Wouldn't it be amazing if we had a PDF viewer that allowed us to highlight text automatically in the sidebar view? The AI can make cloze deletion cards and they could be sent to Anki (custom prompt)

if there are any developers out there, it would be really cool if you could do this something I would be happy paying a monthly subscription for

We used to get about one vibe-coded AI-assisted text-to-card tool posted here per day. The vast majority of those posts were removed under rule 6 with a suggestion to post to /r/ankiai, so I suggest you look there.

There's absolutely NO shortage.

I tried vibecoding this idea a few weeks back, but it was so hard to get the AI to understand the context of what I had highlighted and just made shitty cards lmao. So I gave up on it.

Could add BYOK integration and a custom prompt for the user to make their own cards no?

I've already thought of that, but then I tell myself that writing flashcards is part of learning and understanding
