#2Hi HN! I first posted CleverDeck about 2.5 years ago and received a lot of support and encouragement from the community. Since then, I've built it out into a more general purpose spaced repetition system and added seven new 3000-word frequency lists for major languages. I launched the big update today (http://cleverdeck.com/blog) and would love to once again submit it here for feedback. Cheers!

#3Actually really quite well done, got it after the first posting, and quite enjoyed using it! Still do from time to time, the interface is seriously meditative :)

#4Spaced repetition is why drip marketing works.
Definitely the way to go when building memory.

What are the advantages over Anki?

What are the advantages over Anki?
Two things, I think.
First, I was a long time power user of Anki and don't mean to disparage it, but I think CleverDeck has a much better user experience and design.
Second, we've spent a tremendous amount of time putting together high quality frequency lists (mostly for languages right now) that incorporate professional imagery, native-speaker audio, transliterations (where relevant), and example sentences. Usually, making or piecing together your own decks and cards is the most time-consuming part of using an SRS - and user content is often of dubious quality.
In terms of the spaced repetition, though, CleverDeck and Anki actually use the same algorithm.

#7The UI is great andI love that each one actually has example sentences, but the text isn't selectable and you can't tap to get the definition of other words in the example sentences.

Spaced repetition system for iOS
Might be effective to have "memory" in there somewhere?
Also, somehow the first 3/4s of the linked page (before scrolling) put me in the frame of "this product is primarily about making my own decks".

#9Just downloaded.
Quick feedback: flicking away a card takes too long (vertical distance) of a flick. I have to carefully drag it from top to bottom for the card to flick away. Wish it was more sensitive. Perhaps 30% of the screen height is enough of a threshold. Otherwise, thank you. Going to be using this!

Hmm, I wonder if there's some confusion here. Cards can be swiped left, up, or right - but not from top to bottom. Otherwise, thanks for the feedback!
