Slips

Study material in, usable cards out

Slips is a local-first flashcard studio for creating, reviewing, importing, exporting, and printing study decks directly in the browser. It is designed to keep the study loop small and portable: bring in a JSON deck, work through it in the browser, and take the deck with you when it is time to study somewhere else.

The review mode is built for quick sessions, with interactive flip cards that work across desktop and mobile screens. When digital review is not the right fit, the print view turns the same deck into a two-column A4 layout for cutting out physical cards.

A deliberately local workflow

The current version has no account or backend behind it. Decks and theme preferences stay in browser storage, while JSON import and export keep the content portable between tools and devices. That keeps the app quick and private, with one practical trade-off: exported backups are important when moving to another browser or device.

What's new

October 2026 — login and persistence across devices

I am working on the next step for Slips: letting people sign in and continue with their decks across devices. The aim is to make the study workflow easier to pick up elsewhere without losing the small, focused feel of the current app. The details are still being worked through, so this is a direction in progress rather than a feature I am calling live yet.
