Summary

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create an Anki flashcard application using Django and SendGrid. The app allows users to add flashcards and receive daily email reminders to review them. To start, ensure that you have a free SendGrid account, Python installed on your machine (version 3.8 or later), and Django installed (version 3.1 or later). Set up the development environment by creating a new directory for your project and navigating to it. Install the required dependencies for the project using pip command. Configure the email settings for SendGrid in the settings file. Create the Flashcard models, views, and templates in Django. Finally, send email reminders using Django's management commands and SendGrid API client. Test the application by adding flashcards and manually running the send_reminders command to receive an email with the flashcards.
