Super helpful! I've been struggling between making notes on Notion vs making flashcards since you really only have time for 1 during medical school. Will give this a shot next semester! Cheers mate

[@dabi_]

Perfect!! Definitely, exactly the same problem I came across :) so was ecstatic when I found this solution; glad it might help!

[@DestinyMaster12]

@@dabi_ will be looking forward to all your videos from now on! Especially as a Canadian med student (but born as a New Zealander ;D)

[@dabi_]

@@DestinyMaster12 aww thank you!! Means a lot; glad to have you here 😁

[@Kt-hp7cv]

Thank you for this tutorial! I already spend a lot of time creating questions, and it takes even longer to convert them into cards.

[@dabi_]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LukeBares]

This would have saved me so much time! I am considering switching to remnote but if that’s not for me I will definitely try this tool. For the last two years I copied all my questions manually

[@dabi_]

Yeah!! They just released their desktop app :) they’re also physicians/smart dudes with their YT channel at Mike and Matty, so definitely check it out!

[@ArvindRajan]

This is awesome! Haven't started med school yet but definitely will be using this once I do :)

[@dabi_]

Fantastic Arvind :D good luck for med school! This will definitely really help, I wished I had something like this in med school...

Amazing!!! You get the best of both worlds, medical and computing, integration. Help a lot of person in studying. Many thanks!!!

[@rauldoutel]

Hi Dabido, great video, good content, very valuable to anyone using both anki and notion. Keep up the videos, for sure your channel will grow in the long-run! ;) Season's greetings and good luck for your exams!

[@dabi_]

I'm happy you found use of it Raul :) season's greetings to you as well, stay warm and be merry!

[@ninjapower1231]

wow man; apprecite it alot. i wonder how to export a pdf document with all of my notes 51mb to anki from notion. it seems that i need to do it manually

[@dabi_]

You could possibly: - Duplicate page - Turn all pages into headings, or toggles Not sure!

YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVER! THANK YOU SO MUCH

my pleasure ^^

thanks for checking out my vid Jeremiah :D I appreciate it.

[@wildchocolate8808]

Very helpful video Dabido! I was trying to create a docker for Notion2Anki but I don't understand why my computer does allow me to download the Docker App. Can you please help me out, is there any other app that I can use?

[@dabi_]

Heya! Hmm, not sure, most computers should be able to install/use Docker regardless of PC vs Mac. Make sure you’re using an account with admin privileges on your computer and potentially turning the firewall off temporarily could help. If you’re having too much trouble, you could potentially just use the Notion2Anki website itself online.

Amazing video David! Your videos are AWESOME

Haha hey Joe!! I'd recognise that profile pic anywhere :D thanks for the compliment dude, much appreciated!

Yep! Though the steps around Docker may be subtly different.

Yeeeeees. I could already use that hack. Thanks a lot!!! 😎🤗🤓

[@dabi_]

No worries Diego! :D glad you found it useful!

[@scokim]

Are those medicine decks yours? Can you share them? They look useful for my studies.

[@dabi_]

Honestly, they’re probably a bit too messy and full of copyrighted material to be distributed 😂 it probably wouldn’t be as useful as you think. If I do sanitise it and make a deck available to public, I’ll make an announcement or something.

[@k.vasquezzz8569]

Hi! Can this work on the Anki mobile? I’m planning on making and reviewing flashcards using only my ipad. Great video btw!

[@dabi_]

Unfortunately it doesn’t :( you definitely need a computer in order for this to work I think. You could probably get as far as even creating the Anki package in the Notion2Anki website (after exporting the HTML from Notion), but I’m not sure if the iPad app itself can handle the Anki package filetype, despite actually being the Anki app. I could be wrong.

[@k.vasquezzz8569]

@@dabi_ Thanks! I ended up working with a laptop anyway. It's a pain working on ankiweb so I only use it now on my phone whenever I'm on the go

[@jonosenior]

You have a very relaxing voice :)

[@dabi_]

Hahaha aww thank you! I appreciate your compliment. Hope I don't put anyone to sleep 😂

[@euniceeeee6175]

Hi Dabi, the docker is python applications? Cuz I'm beginner of use it😅Can u help me to solve it and thanks a lot!

[@griffin5569]

Have you looked at using Remnote? Kind of does both notion and Anki in one place.

[@dabi_]

It’s on my list of things to consider! I’m quite invested into the whole Notion ecosystem, since I literally use it for everything (business and studies). But the Remnote guys are doctors too so I have no doubt that it’s genuinely really good.

[@fchojnacki]

Hey, that's a great video and ever since I watched it for the first time it has saved me so much time, thank you for this! I'd like to ask you, do you know how to do reverse cards in the above-mentioned method? I tried doing it on my own, however not knowing how to code I've ended messing the whole template up xd

[@dabi_]

I think there’s a setting in the Notion2Anki page where you can select reverse cards? :) I tend not to use them too much so not sure!

[@fchojnacki]

@@dabi_ YES! How could I have missed that?! Thank you very much, I appreciate it! 🙏🏼

[@daiancaballerochavarria751]

Demasiado útil! Gracias Dabido

[@dabi_]

Gracias! 😊

[@jerichocayetano7068]

Thanks!

[@brunomurillogutierrez5871]

I just found this tool and seems amazing but I have a question why not make flashcards directly in anki? Maybe the question is silly sorry

[@dabi_]

Fantastic Q - basically one of the problems with making cards directly in Anki is that Anki therefore becomes your database of where to search information in. Which is a bad idea, because although you can search individual pieces of information easily, it’s really not gonna be great as a “second brain” kind of thing. This really just lets you essentially use Notion as your main knowledge database, and you can copy-paste it in a way that is easy to port over to Anki.

@@dabi_ Its great! i recently did the local host and it was great but then i shut down my docker and then when i opened it againt he local host stopped working! i deleted all the data but then when i tried to build it again it keeps getting stuck on step 6/15. Any tips?

[@dabi_]

@@nickalkhouri hmm...a way that I think could work is to click on the docket icon on the top right corner of Mac and open the dashboard, then next to the server you’ve named (which if you’re using my instructions will be called “nn”), you can reboot it up by clicking the play button. Otherwise, you can try removing the server in Docker (via Terminal, which can be found by googling) and then just try reinstalling it. Not sure how to help otherwise!

Muchas gracias muy util, pero tengo un problema con los audios al momento de visualizarlos en ANKI aparece un link y no el audio como tal :(. ¿Como puedo solucionarlo?

[@dabi_]

I’m sorry I don’t understand Spanish! But thank you very much for watching the video. From the English words I can read, I think your question was about audio. I’m not sure if you can use an mp3 file here as I haven’t tried. ¡Lo siento, no entiendo español! Pero muchas gracias por ver el video. De las palabras en inglés que puedo leer, creo que su pregunta era sobre el audio. No estoy seguro de si puede usar un archivo mp3 aquí, ya que no lo he intentado. (Google Translate)

@@dabi_ I checked out your blog post but I was not able to run docker (step 4). On docker I press start but does not do anything... I also typed in safari http//local host:8000/ but the server was not found.. I’m not too sure what I’m doing wrong.

[@dabi_]

@@mariakarenquijano687 I’m not sure where you’re getting stuck, but you could try the following: - have you “cd” into the correct folder on your computer? - have you included the dot in the correct places? - you can just type localhost:8000 into Safari rather than “http//local host:8000” which has a few typos

[@dabi_]

It also has to be the specific version downloaded from my GitHub ‘cause I altered some code there

@@dabi_ yes I did all of the above I used GitHub link from your blog post... I’m not too sure if you have to do anything with docker. I just downloaded the app but did nothing else, unless you have to do something there?

[@luhental]

I don't get why you need to automate this process. Isn't the process to convert notes to flashcards another healthy review and repetition process if done manually? But of course I'm not a medical student.

Possibly
