(🎥 video) Obsidian Flashcards and Spaced Repetition

Super excited to see Markdown support on Android land in NeuraCache! Thank you so much for working on this.

In trying it out, I’ve discovered this doesn’t currently seem to be working with local files, unfortunately (I sync my Obsidian folder to my phone’s local storage using syncthing).

Selecting Import Markdown Folder (or file) and selecting the obsidian folder root throws a Could not find #flashcard or #spaced blocks error.

It took me quite a while to figure out this wasn’t due to invalid content in the Markdown files, but rather a problem with local storage specifically. Putting the same files on Google drive storage and selecting it from there using Import Markdown Folder works flawlessly.

(Might this be as easy as making the app request permissions to access storage? I notice it didn’t, but my understanding of Android permissions is that it will need to request this permission to access files there)

If you manage to resolve this issue so that I can use NeuraCache with the content in local storage, you’ll definitely have another Premium subscriber though.

(Also happy to help test/debug further if you need more info)
