The aim of this project is collaborating in the creation of high quality, free and open source Anki decks on the topic of human history.
Anki is open-source spaced repetition software available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Check the Anki installations instructions. Spaced repetition is an improvement over classic flashcards that allows for more flexible and efficient learning.
The underlying idea of this project is to view history as a graph of events and people who are connected. The Anki cards not only query you about individual events and people but also about the relationships between them.
See docs/installation.md for instructions on how to install and update the deck.
See docs/learning.md for recommendations on how to study effectively with this deck.
Want to add historical figures, events, or improve existing cards? See docs/CONTRIBUTING.md for details on how to contribute.
See CHANGELOG.md for a detailed history of changes to this project.
See docs/development.md for technical details on development and releasing new versions.
The note templates, the name and the general idea of collaboratively editing high quality Anki decks are based on Ultimate Geography.
