I looked at the storybook idea, but it is only good for iPad. The idea I had is to take the blank plugin, change the background image to one of the flash cards, and then daisy chain 5 more blank plugin slides to it. The only problem is that this is going to get very messy very quickly as I have over 350 flash cards I would like to incorporate into this. Anyone have a better idea on how to make flashcards....for someone with zero programming skills. Thanks Min Title Comments Hi everyone, I really need a flash card plugin for my app that doesn't link to an outside url. I looked at the storybook idea, but it is only good for iPad.

Whatever plugin you end up using, you're not going to want to enter all the text in manually; you're going to need some kind of script or childItem file to populate the flash cards. It's usually not a problem to create a plugin for iOS, or Android. But usually folks are better at one than both. What platform are you looking at?

Just been buried in the quiz plugin code. Comments I might be able to help you on the iOS side. This is something I have thought about before. Just been buried in the quiz plugin code.

I'm not a member, but would like to join if I can make flash cards that run on multiple devices. Cheers, Min Comments I would like to do it for both android and iOS - currently working with iPhone.
