I had created this website few months back to teach html, css, js to a newbie. Though this doesn't have spaced repetitions and saving stuff. But if you want to print your flash cards, then you can use this.
Awesome product!! Anki is old and outdated, and it's long overdue for a replacement. Congrats on the launch!
Anki is free software - this is far from being a replacement. Also anki3 is the replacement. Its rather modern and python base is well written and documented.
I don't see any tags or branches on the github repo that indicate anki v3.
I'm afraid I feel this is kind of missing the point. I assert that you will spend the time coming up with how to remember a thing; the question is whether you choose to do that at card construction time (easiest, because you've got all the context available to you of the thing you're trying to remember), or ad-hoc during review time. Creating a card is not just writing down some text (or, worse, copy-and-pasting it s…
It's mostly the convenience of always having the ability to create a spaced-repetition flashcard there in your browser.
Our primary use cases are studying for exams and language learning. Hopefully that sheds some more light on how the Chrome extension / Notion integration are used.
Hi HN, Meet Zorbi - a spaced-repetition tool built for exam study. Zorbi helps you create flashcards straight from PDFs and Websites or from our Notion integration. Creating flashcards with Zorbi is crazy fast and crazy easy. Zorbi is a web-app so you'll be able to study from any device (but we have an Android app & an iOS app coming soon!) Our mission is to build a full-featured exam study tool that people ACTUALLY…
Hey, what is the pricing?
In my experience (I have over 10k flashcards in Anki and SuperMemo) it takes a lot of time to create the cards (vs. repeating/learning them). But the main reason is because I have to take time to think about and understand the content first, reformulate it in my own words (otherwise it won't stick well!), and cut it into bite-sized cards. What helped me most were articles "teaching" how to do this, or generally the e…
e.g. we have tooltips+hotkeys that let you append the highlighted text to the front/back.
One-click card creation for language vocab is on our roadmap and will be a focus-area soon. We're focusing on students / teachers right now.

questions: - What is the business model? - any (detailed) info about the "data exporting" functions? - Offline use is possible? - Any API expected? ( creating 3rd party tools ) Thanks!
Freemium might happen in the future for niche features (e.g. Improved TTS / GPT-3 Flashcard Generation).
No data exporting yet. We plan to add CSV/PDF exports in the next month.
Offline mode is not possible yet - it will be within a couple of months.
Public API + Extendability is 100% planned. If you're interested in developing anything custom then get in touch with us! Might be able to set something up for you.
Will it be able at some point to export the newly created flashcards to ANKI?

Of course it's hard to know whether other alternatives could have worked even better, but this way I devote 30 minutes a day which can be on the bus, in bed, etc. and make progress. If I had to spend the time and involvement of making the cards myself (which requires not only more time, but in practice a more dedicated setting with a PC and keyboard, etc., as I'm not going to make flashcards with my phone on the bus even if it's technically possible) I would probably have quit a long time ago.
So work on making the creation of flashcards easier seems like something that could be of interest at least to some people.
The app experience is very smooth. I managed to make a flashcard and review it very quickly. Do you have any support for cloze-deletion? I find that is the number one way to improve your output in a foreign language. How are you going to stop people making hundreds and hundreds of cards and being unable to review them? I find that people often start of using SRS systems by putting in way too much information and then…
Yes. We have cloze deletions. Hit Ctrl + Shift + C for cloze deletions (or hit the "Eye" that says "Hide Text")
RE: the issue with reviews piling up.
- We have some modifications planned for the algorithm that will make this easier. See the Load Balancer addon in Anki + algorithms like Half-life Regression which are making this easier to deal with.
Also we could all do with a "let me take weekends off" feature :)

Yes - we're working on some features for teachers. If you're a teacher you should get in touch - keen to learn more about what you need.
