    Yeah, I just tried it with the pro subscription, it is quite excellent; this might be exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!

    I tried Remnote yesterday for the first time, after another user in this same thread recommended it. I put a paper in, and clicked a sentence and ... it is somewhat magical. This i…

    Not sure I understood the gist, but let me try summarise what you do generally (i.e. not just for language learning). - Instead of flashcards, you read content/write notes. - You t…

    Okay on first try, this seems promising, I'll try the pro sub tomorrow properly and take it for a proper spin, but: - I read a lot of PDFs. I can click a sentence and have it sugge…

    I agree, it is tricky. But I believe it is possible, see my response in this thread to the user allenu as a middle ground.

    Yes, I do something like this now. It definitely does do the job. I just wonder if there could be something more, something smoother perhaps, and the API access could do the trick.…

    +1 SM is really interesting. Supermemo.guru (URL) is a fascinating resource written by a fascinating person (the creator of Supermemo), but the software is so unusable that it imme…

    A great shame, I see your point. I guess it comes down to the developer treating their product as something that could "help people" or something that "pays the bills". Hopefully t…

    No problem - I'm happy to help. I spend way too much time thinking about this type of stuff. I'm glad this has resonated, good luck with the prototypes. Let me know if you ever wan…

    Fair point, please see my comment in response to allenu, in this same thread, for a detailed view. I did not mean to glaze over this aspect, I am aware this is very important. I ca…

    I've tried Fresh Cards so thank you for developing that app, and trying to add cool new software into the space. Great question. Here's one way to do it: The first is how clunky th…

    Got it, thanks very much! I think I will give this a serious shot with my own modifications of course.

    Hi! Thanks for your response. I greatly appreciate the detail. I very much like this way of thinking - "they only increase in value, the longer you don't look into them". One final…

    This sounds right up my alley - one question: do you use this books are reference in the future to help cement your learning? I feel like I would also end up never looking in them …
