Nice work, the Dropbox integration is probably a good idea (although I personally don't use Dropbox). One question though: is it not possible to click to the next question, when you're reviewing? Does this require signing in? Coincidentally, I also recently used React to build a SRS site specifically targeted toward review of computer science topics. React definitely makes building UIs into a pleasure. (Now, if only…

Hey! Sure you can go to the next question. You have to "double click" on an interval to go to the next. When you click an interval it get's selected and the due time is previewed. Then click another time to apply it. Many seem to find that counter-intuitive - I might make that one more clear.

Humm I used Mathjax at some point before and will probably go back soon since KaTeX doesn't seem to be updated anymore and Mathjax just got a new very fast beta version. I'll see how well it plays with React then. I would hate to go to pre-rendered images though. That's so cumbersome and just gah :D.

I also used Firebase for Ginseng before! But then no one has a Firebase account to use on their own, and using a central one would mean user management/registration, traffic costs etc. That's why I pulled out. So you're using one account for the program?

This is interesting. I've also built a flashcard web app with spaced repetition ( http://flashcardstash.com ). I'm curious, why only the Dropdox login?

Because it's 100% client side so I have to rely on other services :D. Why Dropbox specifically? I think that's the one most people have. No special reason.
