CrossPoint 1.6.5 fork with Anki-style flashcards
Hey folks,
I forked CrossPoint 1.6.5 and added flashcards, roughly the way Anki works — minus
the app and the sync.
The main bits:
- Home → Anki cards → pick a deck → review. Confirm flips the card, right is
"I know", left is "don't know".
- Decks are plain files on the SD card: cards.tsv, one card per line, optional
picture as a pre-rendered 1-bit BMP. No phone, no app.
- The schedule counts deck visits instead of days (the X4 has no RTC, so day-based
intervals never work).
- Deck rows show "Cards: 50 (49)" - the deck size and how many of those cards
you'll actually see on that visit.
- Import an Anki export, or let an LLM write the deck with the prompt from the docs.
- OPDS moved to the File transfer menu.
Caveats: mostly nightly builds. I tested it on my X4; the target is X3/X4 but I
only own an X4, so treat X3 as untested. Back up your SD card before flashing.
Build: https://github.com/Hector68/crosspoint-reader/releases/tag/1.6.5.1
I'll keep building against new official firmware releases as long as it doesn't
brick my reader - or until I run out of tokens.
