Blog Post - a Style Guide for creating HS cards
Post Body

Rather than wax poetic about design choices and mechanics, I thought I'd take a little time to make something useful for people on this subreddit.

My latest blog post lays out rules for how the micro-copy on HS cards is structured. It shows when to Capitalize, when to bold, and lists sample patterns that reappear throughout HS.

My goal is to increase the average quality of card published on this subreddit. I mean, it's pretty good right now, but I'd say ~30% of cards have great ideas, but easily correctable grammar and card pedantry issues.

As always, I love having conversations about the HS design-space. Note that I stopped short of calling out all of the inconsistencies, and instead focused on what was the most common, or most up to date patterns used in HS.
