Show HN: Hanky – ETL style framework for loading flash cards into Anki
It makes it easy to hit API's, web scrape, do text-to-speech via online services etc in order to build rich flash cards in an automated way.
This has grown organically over a couple of years while learning French and German with some friends and thought some of you guys might find it useful.
An example pipeline I built with Hanky:
- Use CV to grab highlighted words and their context off of a page of printed text (extract)
- translate the highlighted word via an API (transform)
- generate audio with a tts service (transform)
Then load all that into anki as flash cards (load)
Keen to hear any feedback and hope you find it useful.
