Would like advice about creating flashcard apps

Hi all,

I am a beginner having just completed the Swift Development course. I would like to create basic apps in Swift code to help my students learn specific vocabulary for international exams.

I hope to create something simple - they see a word and tap the card to get a translation and/or example. And maybe they can mark ones they know and/or struggle with.

Does anyone know where I can go to learn code to create a basic flashcard app like this? It doesn't sound too complicated but in all honesty I wouldn't know where to begin on my own. I haven't found anything on google.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this is the kind of thing you are looking for, but I've found that spaced repetition works well for me. If you want them to mark off their confidence level themselves, the interface might be fairly simple to make, but the underlying algorithms might be harder to implement (although you should be able to find libraries that deal with that... probably).

Thanks, yes, that might work for this.
