Data Storage

All data is stored locally in $TRIVIA_QUIZ_DIR (defaults to ~/.local/share/trivia-quiz/):

• data.log — Notes and general entries saved with note command
• history.log — Timestamped log of every command executed (learn, quiz, flashcard, etc.)

The data directory is created automatically on first run. No cloud sync — everything stays on your machine.

Requirements

• Bash ≥ 4.0 (uses set -euo pipefail)
• coreutils — date, wc, mkdir (standard on Linux/macOS)
• No API keys, no internet connection, no external dependencies

When to Use

1. Self-study sessions — Use learn and roadmap to structure your study of a new programming language, framework, or any topic
2. Exam prep — Use quiz and test to drill yourself, then review for spaced repetition before an exam
3. Daily flashcard habit — Use flashcard to build a deck and review to maintain a daily spaced repetition routine
4. Meeting/lecture notes — Use note to quickly capture timestamped insights during a meeting, class, or conference talk
5. Learning progress tracking — Use progress to see how many sessions you've logged and stay motivated over time
