Si, I don't know if this is too limited of a solution for you but it is pretty simple. If you have your text data in a tiddler, you can just use tm-download-file message to create a text file using the browser download functionality (with all the limits that imposes).
I made a macro quite recently to do a similar thing and it works well. \define downloadButton(tiddler:"") <$button>Download $tiddler$ <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-download-file" $param="$tiddler$" filename="$tiddler$"/> </$button> \end <<downloadButton "Text Tiddler Name">> /Mike On Tuesday, January 12, 2021 at 4:47:22 PM UTC-4 si wrote: > Hi Tones, > > Sorry I did not see that you had replied until just now. > > I had seen that Larry Sanger had created a kind of spaced repetition tool > for practising programming tasks > <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgrdg1uwDeA>.
