Implement labels for cards to add finer granularity to interface #1

Excellent app Ted. I definitely need something like this and will likely use it!

Not sure if this was meant to natively only display Anki decks, but it would be nice to import them into SQL and be able to add tags/labels on the fly.

Hey, thanks, and looks like you've made a great start on ehhapp-twilio!

So you might know that behind the scenes, Anki uses SQLite for everything. In fact, .APKG files contain a SQLite database file. If you meant that you'd want the web interface to allow adding of tags, that's an interesting idea, although right now this Anki plugin is definitely designed for export to web and not re-import; it's nice and cheap for the server to just read a static JSON file.

That being said it sounds like a cool idea, and if you made a pull request I would be interested. You'd probably need a more robust database for the Sinatra side.

I might do something with it and fork the repo. I don't use Anki at the moment but I may switch over when things start getting more complicated.

And yeah ehhapp-twilio was a lot of fun. Calling a number and talking with your code is a really cool feeling. Everything is up and running right now and I want to add a bunch more functionality to it (adding Google Spreadsheets API to make appts possibly or adding an intelligent feature which detects clinicians, for a start... the possibilities are endless) I added you to the twilio acct and you should be able to call the number and see that it works right now. We can talk about porting over the number and any new feature requests at the next steering meeting.
