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

Our tool does everything Anki does, plus it let's you organize your notes and decks in one place and create them collaboratively with others in a group. It also lets you set a daily learning goal to hold you accountable to learning.

So it does spaced repetition?

Yes. SM-2 algorithm just like Anki.

I shared this link on social media: https://barbra.io/ Shows nothing on social media. Consider adding some meta data and og and twitter data so it'll show more data and an image when shared.

Will do today! Thanks for sharing.

Props to the designer for creating a really clean interface :) I can really see this becoming like slack for schools vs. a Quizlet. I was a harcore Quizlet user, but for me it always lacked the opportunity to group study. I think you guys are onto something

If you want me to agree to your TOS or PP on the sign up page, at least provide a link to them THERE. Also, when returning from "Sign up" or "Sign in" via the back button, the logo and both "Sign up" and "Sign in" buttons and the footer with the links to TOS and PP are missing, need to refresh.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. We will fix that asap.

Update: fixed

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.

There is also my new toy project, apy [0]. It allows, among other things, to add and modify cards from cli. [0]: https://github.com/lervag/apy

apy looks awesome—thanks for sharing!
