Hey, thanks for this. It’s really useful (might be awesome to link from the docs ). I noticed a small mistake though: {{FrontSide}} in the front template should be {{Front}} instead. Otherwise, you’ll get an error. {{FrontSide}} in the back template wasn’t also working so had to change that too. I …
