Creator here. As a University student I was struggling a lot with the huge amount of information I needed to remember for my courses. I started using spaced repetition (Anki) and it worked great! I enthusiastically shared this method with my family but they got overwhelmed by the complexity of the Anki interface and all the options. I wanted to change that. So I built memordo. I focused on creating a minimalist but s…

I've spent about 10 minutes kicking the tires so I may have missed things which are actually there. These are my thoughts, excuse the roughness of it all: * Editing - Keyboard shortcuts for committing a card? Undo system in the editor would be useful. Contextual help for the icons on hover. * Decks - Perhaps separate tab for this rather than the side panel being the only way to view them * notifications - Avoid the a…
Please, do not use white lies on your web. This is not free to use. This is useless on free. It's like tesla saying that chargers are free to use on front page, then on pricing: but only first 0.1kWh. this is dark pattern.
This is a valid point. What do you think would be respectable amount of free cards? - or is having a card limit even the right way to of differentiate between free and premium? Very interested in hearing your points - i'm totally new to this.
I would say 250+ and no more than 1000 should be more than enough. Usually doing 20..40 new DAILY is a max if you are doing anything bigger.
I would allow users bigger db (1000..5000) but would limit to the moment they will reveal (open) 250 new cards.
You want them to create habbit. This needs more than few weeks. Completly dont worry about them using 200 or 500, if habbit do not kickin, they will leave you no matter what you offer.
p.s. my experience come from doing 20k rep spacing english. It took me around 10 years of daily doing it.
p.p.s. I paid for my 20k english course, 15 USD. that was for the app, complete 20k cards with phrases and VOICE audio. Mind it. 15 usd. Your tool would cost 10yrs125 whooping 6000 usd :)
What is Spaced Repetition? Never heard of it.
Maybe you did and forgot about it :-)

Hi, nice work with this! Another small typo under the "Retain information with Spaced Repetition" header in the first bullet point, effecient -> efficient.
Thanks for spotting the typo! I have fixed it now.
Theory / 2 Cents: don't just work on a GUI for spaced repetition cards, invent an open file format for spaced repetition (perhaps an XML plus an schema, or a JSON based file format, a subset of HTML or markdown, etc...). The idea is that you create a file format spec, perhaps even some open source libraries to operate on the file format. And then you sell a really nice GUI for editing that (perhaps a web page, perhap…
I created a file format designed for sharing data in-between language learning apps (JSON based + signature). It’s not released yet but if someone is interested please reply below. It would be great to have software other than mine using it.

I think you need to make a decision and go in one of two directions: * 25 (or maybe 50) card limit, and call it something like "Try before you buy" * 100 (or maybe 200) card limit and call it "Free" Basically either the free tier is usable for a reasonable period of time for a reasonable subset of your customer base, or it's a "free trial" to get people setting up and seeing the value without having to enter credit c…
I can't imagine too many for whom a SRS app with a 100 card limit would be useful.
I agree that for long term widespread usage you're going to end up with many more, but you can do something useful with 100.
