Build flashcards from notes
Use “Build flashcards from notes” in Recued. Reads the vault notes you name in notepaths, turns their material into question/answer pairs, and writes them as a CSV deck ready to import into a spaced-repetition app. Returns the pairs as a table and the deck as copyable CSV.
