With Genome now having fancy new pictures, I thought it would be nice to have some "flashcards" to help new people learn names. I also wanted to play with some new tech, so here we are!
It's currently very rudimentary, and the the review queue is basically just a first-in-first-out stack. One of these days I hope to get around to implementing a Spaced Repetition algorithm instead to really help people learn the names, but for now I think this is good enough. If Spaced Repetition sounds interesting to you, do check out ANKI though!
It should be mobile friendly, but because the data gets saved to the local browser storage, it doesn't magically remember whose name you were trying to learn if you switch between browsers or devices.
If something doesn't work, you are probably not Logged into Genome. Do that, and then try again. If it still oesn't work, let me know!
There is a live version of this here: http://klickwho.px0.de
You can find the source code for this project at https://github.com/px0/jiyi.
The project is written in ClojureScript and uses Reagent, a ReactJS wrapper, as the frontend technology. The frontend framework is MaterializeCSS.
The source code should be relatively straight-forward, if you're familiar with those technologies, but feel free to ask me anything.
lein figwheel and connect to http://localhost:3449
Run this to build the project in a production config: lein clean && lein with-profile prod cljsbuild once
Emacs/Cider: Connect to the running figwheel instance and have cider autocomplete and stuff working:
lein figwheel
cider-connect
-> localhost
