Looking for a flashcard app tailored for developers (with code editor)

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that lets you create flashcards similar to Anki, but really oriented towards coding practice.

The idea would be to have the classic front/back flashcard system, where the front shows what you need to code, and the back provides a possible solution.

What I feel is missing in most tools I’ve seen is a built-in code editor with syntax highlighting. Instead of just thinking about the answer in your head, the goal would be to actually type it out for better memorization.

There wouldn’t need to be automated evaluation or grading — the user could just compare their own attempt with the suggested solution and decide if it was correct enough.

The main reason I’m looking for this is to fight against something I’ve noticed with heavy LLM usage. After prompting all the time, I feel I’m losing the ability to actually write code myself — not conceptually, but on the level of pure recall and memorization. This kind of tool seems like it could help bring that back.

Does anyone know if something like this exists? Or is there an open-source project that goes in that direction?

Thanks!
