Say goodbye to boring study sessions. Codi's flashcard-based app makes memorizing coding concepts fun and engaging. The user creates "decks" of flashcards, with each card consisting of a question and an answer. Then, during a quiz session, the user is presented with cards due for review. Each card is then rated by the user as one of 4 options again, hard, good, or easy. Through a special algorithm based on spaced repetition, a technique from cognitive science for improving memorization, the user's rating is weighed and a new review date is assigned to each card. The more frequently a user rates their card as easy the further in time the newly assigned review date will be and vice versa. This was a team project that went from concept to deployment in 10 days to showcase all the skills learned during Lighthouse Labs.
