I really need something like this. Great job identifying a pain point. >> 1. Highlight text on any page, and a popup will appear Popup is not appearing. I am using the chrome extension + mac. Does this only work on Windows?

You'll need to refresh any tabs that were open prior to installing the Chrome Extension. If you refresh it, or open a new tab, does it work?

Really cool extension! A suggestion would be to enable adding pictures in the Answer part of the card

Yes! Supporting different types of media types is something I agree would be great. Out of curiosity, what types of pictures would you like to upload as an answer?

Really cool extension! Another advantage over Anki that I could identify is being web based. I see the potential of Supermind making learning a collaborative experience through sharing cards and other learning resources.

The collaborative idea is something I'm thinking about. I want it to eventually balance on "easy sharing / collab on sets of cards" with "still able to be personal", since learning is fundamentally a personal experience. I'm happy to talk about this more or setup some time to talk: please email at arh.hoskins@gmail.com

AnkiWeb[0], made by or at least affiliated with Anki creator, allows accessing and studying any of the decks you sync in your Anki app.

It also features a database of user-contributed decks[1] on various topics.

That said, I don’t know whether AnkiWeb could be used completely without the accompanying desktop or mobile app.

You can, and I've done it some since migrating to iOS until I feel like I'll use it enough to pay for the app (I suck at sticking with flashcards; they're so boring).

Yes! Supporting different types of media types is something I agree would be great. Out of curiosity, what types of pictures would you like to upload as an answer?

For example, you're reading a technical article and the answer to a question is a complex diagram or a graph that could easily fit in one card but would take way too long to explain in pure text.

Also, another suggestion would be to enable some kind of formatting of the text in the cards, in case you're trying to remember steps to a recipe, algorithm or something else.

Really good job again, love the extension :)
