RealCards

Print your Anki cards. For real.

RealCards is a modern Anki Add-on that enables exporting to PDF/HTML for printing paper flashcards with card-level selection. RealCards is Flatpak-friendly and does not require a separately installed browser to render PDF files.

Currently, this is an initial relase, so there will certainly be bugs. Please be understanding. If you encounter a problem, please file a bug reports, or better yet, contribute!
