vokabeln is a learning card style command line vocabulary trainer for your command line that runs on the modern Deno runtime for TypeScript, giving it the stability of a compiled binary and the flexibility of JavaScript. (compiled binary coming soon)
deno install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libewa/vokabeln/main/main.tsUnfortunately, there are no binaries available, as deno compile isn't supported right now, because of this issue in deno. tl;dr: Deno doesn't know where to put the database files, so the developers made it throw NotSupported instead:
error: Uncaught NotSupported: LocalStorage is not supported in this context.

After installing vokabeln, you probably want to add some cards. For that, run the add command:
vokabeln add <set><set> will be the identifier you use to refer to this set of cards from now on.
Now that you have your cards on your computer, you can learn their content using the proven method vocabulary boxes use.
vokabeln add <set> [-a]<set>, again, stands for the name you gave the set when adding cards, while the -a flag lets you skip the due date check, which I will talk about now.
In the card box system, a certain amount of days need to pass before you can learn a card again. The -a flag lets you ignore this recommendation, but IS NOT RECOMMENDED! This is because learning might actually be more efficient when waiting to learn something again.1
It's also not encouraged to learn an excessive amount of vocabulary per day, as you won't be able to remember everything and just be wasting your time.1
list is for the moments where you think that using a paper notebook would have been better. Need to scan a table? Quiz your classmates? list outputs a detailed list of all the cards in a set.
