Flash-Cards

An app for creating interactive flashcards from a list of terms saved in a Google Sheets spreadsheet document, allowing users to create flashcards from public lists or their own private lists. App uses Google Login and Google Drive & Sheets APIs to allow users to access their word lists and also uses firebase authentication, storage, and functions to allow users to revisit recently viewed lists.
