Releasing

Pushing a version tag triggers a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the extension, zips it, and creates a GitHub Release with auto-generated notes.

git tag v1.1.0
git push origin v1.1.0

The manifest version is automatically patched to match the tag. Pre-release tags (e.g. v2.0.0-beta.1) are marked as pre-releases.

How it works

QuickCards fetches flashcard data directly from Quizlet's web API (/webapi/3.4/studiable-item-documents) — no login or account required. It automatically paginates to retrieve all cards, even for large sets. If the API is unavailable, it falls back to scraping Quizlet's embedded __NEXT_DATA__ JSON.
