I did not find how to make a card set private on flashcarddb. I am in a Nursing program and we’d like our material to be private until our exam after which we’ll make it available to the public. can you please tell me how to reach this feature?
thank you

I am a big fan of FlashCardDB and like the depth of this review. Thanks!! I highly recommend FlashCardDB, but with its growing popularity, it’s started to have increased downtime. Similarly Jeff has been too busy to make significant changes. I love the web format though (which is my big gripe with Anki)

Thank you for the thorough review K.M. A lot of it reads like my to-do list. 🙂 I am happy you pointed out the emphasis on data portability and interval study.

By the way, you can jump between fields during card creation by clicking tab. Rich formatting elements are allowed via basic HTML (including img). I’ve tried a few rich text editors but the results were ugly (so far). When the site launched it supported textile. But it was a support headache and confusing to users.

“Recovery Mode” is in the works: http://flashcarddb.com/blog/10-dealing-with-a-neglected-srs-deck. I agree completely with your reasoning.

Thanks again. I’ve come back to your site several times over the years. Glad to see FlashcardDB made it!!!
