I created a file format designed for sharing data in-between language learning apps (JSON based + signature). It’s not released yet but if someone is interested please reply below. It would be great to have software other than mine using it.
I'm definitely interested.
Please, do not use white lies on your web. This is not free to use. This is useless on free. It's like tesla saying that chargers are free to use on front page, then on pricing: but only first 0.1kWh. this is dark pattern.
This is a valid point. What do you think would be respectable amount of free cards? - or is having a card limit even the right way to of differentiate between free and premium? Very interested in hearing your points - i'm totally new to this.
* 25 (or maybe 50) card limit, and call it something like "Try before you buy"
* 100 (or maybe 200) card limit and call it "Free"
Basically either the free tier is usable for a reasonable period of time for a reasonable subset of your customer base, or it's a "free trial" to get people setting up and seeing the value without having to enter credit card details.
If you go with the "free trial" approach, the precise wording for what you call it will be important. I put a couple of minutes thought into trying to come up with a good suggestion and "Try before you buy" isn't too bad, but there maybe a better idea.

Do you support exporting your cards into a csv format?
By minimalist I didn't realize you meant minimalist in features, just design. Regardless I think everyone, not just power users, could benefit from a SRS, but part of me thinks that the time investment that is required to get started on Anki is what keeps people going when they're still in the early stages. It's kinda like a buy-in. Do you support exporting your cards into a csv format?
There is no support for exporting cards, but I have noted it and will consider it in the future. Thanks again for your comment!
Theory / 2 Cents: don't just work on a GUI for spaced repetition cards, invent an open file format for spaced repetition (perhaps an XML plus an schema, or a JSON based file format, a subset of HTML or markdown, etc...). The idea is that you create a file format spec, perhaps even some open source libraries to operate on the file format. And then you sell a really nice GUI for editing that (perhaps a web page, perhap…

Creator here. As a University student I was struggling a lot with the huge amount of information I needed to remember for my courses. I started using spaced repetition (Anki) and it worked great! I enthusiastically shared this method with my family but they got overwhelmed by the complexity of the Anki interface and all the options. I wanted to change that. So I built memordo. I focused on creating a minimalist but s…
* Editing - Keyboard shortcuts for committing a card? Undo system in the editor would be useful. Contextual help for the icons on hover.
* Decks - Perhaps separate tab for this rather than the side panel being the only way to view them
* notifications - Avoid the alert pop up for notifications when the user does an unexpected action. Maybe the area under the CARD CREATOR title might be the place for it.
* navigation - there should be quick navigation to study or desk views always present. Having to click on the side panel, then click is a little inconvenient.
* New Cards - it's possible to get to the Card Creator without any decks created. If I want create a new deck for this card, I'd have stop editing and click the side panel. Surely typing a new deck name in the Deck form on the Card Creator would be less confusing?
You'll get two types of users coming to this app. Those who are familiar with spaced repetition apps and those who aren't. I'd recommend spending time on polishing the onboarding experience for noobie users. For the more experienced user I would expect a few features if this was going to be a more modern anki-lite, like a deck view organisable in a folder format or tags, or an undo system for the editor.
Having an exportable format is extremely important for me personally. Might be different for other people.

I think you need to make a decision and go in one of two directions: * 25 (or maybe 50) card limit, and call it something like "Try before you buy" * 100 (or maybe 200) card limit and call it "Free" Basically either the free tier is usable for a reasonable period of time for a reasonable subset of your customer base, or it's a "free trial" to get people setting up and seeing the value without having to enter credit c…
