I am glad to create a flashcard plugin for TiddlyWiki - Fishing, which makes remembering tiddler more efficient. It's designed to be simple and easy, without the need to switch to any external system like Anki, all you need to do is simply add tag 'Fish' to the tiddler you want to remember.

I have been using it for a few weeks now and would like to share it with TiddlyWiki Lovers and get some requests and feedback on improvements. Welcome to submit issues in GitHub, check it out and install it from https://oflg.github.io/fishing/

Hi Oflg

I love the simplicity. The learning curve is very short!

just some few comments
1. the plugin uses the system wide fold button to hide the content of tiddler, so if I wish to install the plugin in my current wiki and and not use the folding for other tiddlers, this make problem for fishing plugin
I think there are many good tools/solution out there to hide /show/slide body of a tiddler tagged with Fishing.
look at Thomas Elmiger details widget or Shiraz (by kookma) display on demand

2. It is good to add more explanation one can understand difference between new, all. overdue, ...
3. There is another plugin by James Anderson (http://welford.github.io/twsr.html) it uses easy / difficult buttons which may be useful here

Thank you for all your talent and effort! Please keep going on with this simple and very useful plugin

Ah, just to correct myself.
I saw you have used easy difficult button at the right bottom of tiddlers!

Thank you

Hi, Atronoush

Ha, I like that collapse button. It's a system component, so everyone can simply understand what it does. And it was one of the inspirations for this plugin.

I've changed the cat-face difficulty button to text, and modified the "all, overdue" prompt.

Check out the new version at  https://oflg.github.io/fishing/  !

Thanks for your suggestion.

Very nice plugin! As others have said, it is simple to understand zero dependency!

It is also possible to use several card per tiddler, that way you may like to use what Atro proposed


<details open>
    <summary>caption question title</summary>
    you can add field caption with question to tiddler to change the showing title.
</details>


The status can be changed programmatically!

Also a simpler solution can be find here: file:///C:/TW/00.%20Plugins/TW-Shiraz/repo/docs/index.html#Tutorial%20Display%20on%20Demand

By the way, I like the current design and am happy with that!


Best wishes
Mohammad

Lovely Oflg,
 I like the colored easy, hard, ....

One question, how do you create the fishing pond?

Thank you

Folks,

I am interested in making use of such a tool, however I have no idea how to make use of it. No doubt because I don't have the necessary background but once I visit  https://oflg.github.io/fishing/ I have no idea what to do next.

Can anyone give a naïve user a quick outline please?

Tones

Hi, Atronoush
The fishponds are not created but automatically generated.

When you add 'Fish' to a tiddler, it will be grouped into 'new, all' fishpond. 
After you revise it once at 'new, all' fishpond, it will be grouped into old  fishpond. 
After that it will be automatically grouped into 'overdue, due, undue' at a scheduled time, depending on the the difficulty button you click.

Thanks

Hi, Tones

It is simple to use for those who have used similar  spaced repetition systems such as Anki. 
You can take a look at the anki documentation at https://docs.ankiweb.net/studying.html#questions . It may be helpful.

Thanks.

Thank you Oflg.

What are these Tips, Usage in the below image?
Do you use them to categorize cards? how do you create these?

One more suggestion

Soren has developed a nice Q&A and cloze tools used in his Zettelkasten, but I think they use Anki.
Can Fishing have a similar Q&A where answer can have such easy hard again, ... feature

see TiddlyRemember

hi, Atronoush

The 'Tips Usage' tags are automatically generated by the tags on the tiddlers you want to revise. 
You can add a tag to the tiddler you want to revise and the tag will appear there. 
These tags are used to categorize and you can revise tiddlers with this tag by clicking on it.

By the way,  you can use the field 'caption' to solve the 'Q&A cloze' problem. Tiddler's title is 'Q' and the content is 'A'.  'cloze Q' and even 'choice Q' can also be created by using the 'caption' field. Try it out and see if it solves the problem.

thanks
