> charging power-users (people with a lot of flashcards and notes) a small subscription fee of around 5-8$ a month Don’t charge that little monthly. Maybe $30 a quarter for more than 5,000 text flash cards or $50 for that plus photos and videos. No one has yet made a success of flash cards with a real big company. Anki is one guy. Remembr.it focuses on Chinese vocabulary. Memrise needs to figure out a way to make rea…

That is true. Thank you. We want to empower ourselves enough to invest back into product and make it awesome. Specially during Covid we need to figure out how to stay alive without necessarily fundraising.

This sounds great! That always bugged me about Anki. I knew it could be done so much more conveniently. I would suggest redoing the intro video, with better acoustics, less "umm" and "so anyway...". The site and product look really polished so it kinda sticks out.

Anki supports creating cards from LaTeX notes via an add-on[0], and for importing from a plaintext-based format there is a command-line tool[1]. After that, one can use Anki’s accompanying shared decks feature to make a deck available to others[2]. Admittedly, all of those options aren’t entirely hassle-free or discoverable.

You should have a "TRY DEMO NOW" button where I get to play with a demo sandbox. I just want to click around for a bit and I'm too disinterested to make an account.

Agreed. As soon as I see a page asking me to create an account, I nope out of there immediately.

Hitting "enter" instead of clicking the button in registration form does not work. Unsubscribe link in registration confirmation E-Mail does not work. Login does not work (gives 404). But landing page looks nice.

What is the benefit of using this site over the cost free, open source, repetition spaced, multi platform Anki ecosystem?
