This is amazing. I’ve been struggling with memorizing stuff for decades.

Where has this been all my life?

Thanks! I can build a linux version tonight, actually. I just haven't tested on linux yet.

Your design looks almost exactly like Notion.so.

Does this have the ability to export? Data portability is pretty important when putting your knowledge in a spaced repetition system.

Also, does it support import from Anki? That might be a major selling point.

Edit: It looks like this stores data in localStorage? From the Privacy Policy [0] page:

> Mochi does not store any of your data on its servers. All content created in Mochi is stored on your computer.

While that certainly makes privacy easy, I would want to know that this doesn't "back up" my notes anywhere. If the storage was corrupted I would hate to lose my hard work.

Yeah, I can see they clearly took inspiration from Notion.

Also, your screenshot on the main page clips if my page isn't wide enough, and it doesn't scroll, so I wasn't able to read the intro you put in the application.

How does it compare to Anki?

This looks amazing! I've wanted something like this for work stuff that can't leave my laptop.
