Hi HN, Meet Zorbi - a spaced-repetition tool built for exam study. Zorbi helps you create flashcards straight from PDFs and Websites or from our Notion integration. Creating flashcards with Zorbi is crazy fast and crazy easy. Zorbi is a web-app so you'll be able to study from any device (but we have an Android app & an iOS app coming soon!) Our mission is to build a full-featured exam study tool that people ACTUALLY…
In my experience (I have over 10k flashcards in Anki and SuperMemo) it takes a lot of time to create the cards (vs. repeating/learning them). But the main reason is because I have to take time to think about and understand the content first, reformulate it in my own words (otherwise it won't stick well!), and cut it into bite-sized cards. What helped me most were articles "teaching" how to do this, or generally the e…

Excellent work and best wishes going forward!

Also anki3 is the replacement. Its rather modern and python base is well written and documented.
What does this do that Anki doesn't? I really don't get the thought process if releasing a product that competes versus free software and does _less_
I didn't try Zorbi yet but I tried Anki a few times and I simply hate its interface. Yes, it has all the features but it is far too clunky and bothersome to use for me. Zorbi in contrast looks like it has a easy, beautiful UI that I can actually use with joy.

The feature checklist is only a part why people use a product. I didn't try Zorbi yet but I tried Anki a few times and I simply hate its interface.
