-<h4>Flashcard Deck Converter</h4>

-<p>Anki is a sophisticated spaced repetition flashcard program. It also has a codebase going on 15
-years old made of Python and Rust, dependencies that make heavy use of Go, and a
-<a href="https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Database-Structure" class="external">
-convoluted deck format</a>, all to produce a desktop program 100-140MB in size depending on
-operating system. In short? It's a mess. But since it has been around for so long and is currently
-the most used open source flashcard program it is also the one with the most decks people have made
-for it.</p>
-
-<p>The nearest competitor to Anki in my assessment is Fresh Memory. It is a much more compact and
-tidy project written in C++ using Qt with similar functionality for spaced reptition using
-arbitrarily sided flashcards. On the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flashcard_software"
-class="external">list of what's available</a> the only other open source options are Mnemosyne,
-another massive mess of Python, or OpenCards, which uses Microsoft Powerpoint of all things for the
-deck format. Unfortunately Fresh Memory was abandoned shortly after it was open sourced and has a
-whole host of minor issues that need working on. I'll get around to doing that eventually.</p>
-
-<p>In the meantime, here's a utility that converts Anki .apkg decks to Fresh Memory .fmd decks.
-Oh, and it can also output to comma separated value format too if you find that more useful. Due to
-differences between formats some information does not carry over very well, but for most decks it
-should still perform adequately.</p>

-<p>Aside from the command line there's also a simple graphical interface put together using FLTK.
-Not the most pretty, but it works.</p>

-<p>Anyone trying to compile this utility or otherwise taking a quick peek at the code or readme may
-note there are quite a few dependencies involved. This is due to Anki's aforementioned convoluted
-deck format. Digging down through layers of JSON inside an SQLite database inside a zipfile is a
-little bothersome. Dealing with Fresh Memory's current XML based deck format is a walk in the park
-by comparison, even if it is more unwieldy due to any deck with media not being all one file.</p>
