Thanks, fascinating links. But they seem to be more on interactions of light and colors, whereas ember is more related to color palette. I know picking color palette tend to be difficult in general and sometimes more art than science. So I was curious if you had art background.

Another thing I noticed is that most of the colors used there seem to be lower on the saturation side, with the exception of #8FF0FF. I'm assuming it's not by accident. Most people don't even think about colors in terms of saturation and value.

How did you end up so invested and becoming so good with colors? I ask because typically programmers aren't good designers. Did you learn color theory professionally or is this a hobby?

I think I'll add a separate paragraph or table from the videos for written instructions. Providers can also copy and paste that into their patient instruction print out as well.

Thanks for the feedback! My understanding is that for dry powder inhalers you have to take a sharp breath instead of slow deep breath like for MDI, thus the confusion for patients as well. I'll add that to the instructions. Perhaps I could add one page showing the difference between the two. I think maybe a short text instruction to complement the videos could be helpful as well.

I mainly had this in mind for physicians to quickly look up an inhaler, and then they can show the patient the instruction videos in the room.

Motivation:

Inhaler names and types are confusing. There is no good one place for inhaler types for medical professions and instructions for patients. There are printed posters you can buy without any instructions on usage.

How it's made:

I made this website using Sveltekit. Inhaler images were taken from scattered around the web. Instructional videos are linked from Youtube.

I found with Sveltekit you can go about it in several ways. Initially I have everything done in traditional routing. Adding a search function proved to be difficult. I then had to restructure the website to be all components. This made using search a lot easier by changing Svelte store when searching.

I keep everything in Evernote. The clipper is so good that I only have to clip the part of the page I care about, whether it's comments or pictures or whole article. It has fantastic search function with OCR.

I have about 5,000 notes in Evernote. I haven't found a good alternative so far.

In short it doesn't let me do what I wanted. I just wanted to keep my notes as is and add cards if I need to. I don't want to change lines of notes and reformat things just to make a card.

Thanks! Let me know if there's any suggestions or problems!

Right now it's only one directional from note to cards. To be bidirectional I would have to interact with the database directly. Theoretically it's possible but would just take a long time to program.

I think this is more for people who are already in the Anki ecosystem and use it extensively.

Anki can take a while to get used to. And there are a lot of articles/videos tutorials. I didn't think it was within the scope of my program to explain Anki cards haha.
