Okay, I have to admit that I misunderstood you product, and my original comment was unnecessarily harsh. If the content stays in the original apps I would highlight that on the landing page, as that's not really obvious (at least to me), and goes counter to how most apps operate. What about the study progress? To a lot of SRS people study progress is almost as precious as the cards themselves.

You have 4 algorithms to choose from currently (SM2 is one of them) https://neuracache.com/spaced/ + I am working on SRS editor that will allow you to define your own intervals. You can quickly access your decks via tags/notebooks etc

The parent comment has a point, I opened the homepage and searched for the word "data", 0 results found. Perhaps adding something along the lines of "Stay in control of your data with ..." would be a selling point?

I personally don't think spaced repetition by itself works very well for a few reasons: -card creation from stuff you read or watch is a huge pain -most people make cards that don't work in real life but don't change them because they assume the algo is good for learning when they're really using it for cramming

I think incremental reading as implemented in supermemo is necessary for SRS to shine: incremental reading works as systematized learning which makes cards in spaced repetition (systematized memorization) much better made

We are developing an extension for Google Chrome that adds flashcards to browser startpage. This extension is based on a spaced repetition algorithm like Anki, but is much easier to use and understand. Here is the URL of extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/studylib-new-tab-s...

Features - You can adjust the number of flashcards and the delay for each session.

- You can choose different types of question (flashcards, multiple choice, written).

- Easyly add new flashcards or import existing sets from other apps.

- Built-in translator in popup bubble (can be swithed off).

Hope this might be of interest to someone ...

That's a very nice idea for casual learning/low number of items to remember.

Edit: Just installed it and the first thing it asks me to login. Sorry, no way. Learn from Momentum how to do it the proper way.

Thanks! I will try to make adjustments to the copy

Why do you think so? My language sets, which I study every day, contain over 3000 different flashcards.

What I hate about Anki is lack of a "never ever show this card to me again" button. I could make great use of it when I try to expand my vocabulary and it teaches me basic level words when I only want advanced+ level. This is what stops me from using it.

I would also love to be able to set a custom repetition algorithm and to import cards from a directory of Markdown files.

Our extension is part of studylib.net platform. Users can learn their sets both in the extension and on the website using PC or phones. This is possible because the user's progress data and sets are stored in one place. So, we need authorization. But you can create account with any email if you don't want to sign in with google or facebook.

Momentum is nice extension, but it has different functionality.
