A self assessment tool for learning Latin. In theory this could be expanded to support other language, but in earnest I don't think I will ever expand the scope of this anytime soon.
You can manage the installation via the init/nuke commands, but to be honest
doing so will be quite a chore considering all the forms, words, etc. to be
entered before all of this starts to be useful. That's why I simply move around
a backup database file (since this is all based on SQLite3). You can find a
reasonibly-sized one at testdata/test.sqlite3. Just move it to your
installation path and that should do it.
You can then manage words, tags and exercises via their own
commands. Finally, you run practices via the practice command (which is also
the default command), which can be tweaked via multiple flags in order to tailor
a practice session to your will.
In a practice session this tool will make a best effort to ask for stuff that
was last asked, or stuff in which you recently failed at. A word or exercise
won't be marked as "solved for now" until it has not been marked successfully
multiple times. Hence, there's a feel for iterating on words/exercises until you
pass them. If you feel like you want to double down on some specific word that
is not being asked, you can also call the words poke command, which will force
the next session to ask for it.

This repository holds two licenses, as you can also note on the Cargo.toml
file. As it's written there:
- The source code on the
crates/directory is licensed under the GNU GPLv3 (or any later version). - The source code on the
lib/directory is licensed under the GNU LGPLv3 (or any later version).
In practice, for the libraries under lib/ this means that if you plan to
compile your binary statically, you still need to abide by the LGPLv3+ license.
This means at least providing the object files necessary to allow someone to
recompile your program using a modified version of these libraries. See the
LGPLv3 license for more details.
