I went from 'well it's OK' to 'I quite like this' to 'it's great!' in about 10 minutes. Creating a new web account loads the tutorial page, but it's a little confusing at first how to add a node. Also, there are quite a few spelling and grammar errors on that page which will make an unfair negative impression. If you clean those up you will get more conversions.

Thank you. Corrected the parts you pointed out!!

As for the part where desktop google sign-in does not work, regarding your description, it seems that the part that executes the app protocol using a browser does not seem to work.... I'm sorry. Let me see why not.

Interesting project! Wondering if it’s open source ?

Also I’d be interested to know a little more about the translation from notes to testing. To me it seems when I’ve used Anki that it takes great care and time to make a well formed question. A poorly formed question has a massive detriment in knowledge recall. Just wondering how you’ve managed to bridge that dilemma to automate the process.

Very interested in contributing, I’m a programmer, clinical educator and love spaced repetition.

I have no idea what your app does besides flashcards because your landing page doesn't give much information

Maybe this explanation is helpful:

There is an old, tried-and-tested learning algorithm called SR (Spaced Repetition)

(The algorithm used to determine when to show cards in flashcard programs)

The problem is that SR is a tool that only fits 1:1 structures,

and this structure does not match the structure of knowledge

What fits this structure is as simple as country–capital pairs or word–meaning pairs,

but not general subjects

Now, LearnObit has a solution for that!

The first step is to make a good note-taking tool

that mimics the tree structure for the purpose of organizing knowledge

The second step is to connect that note-taking tool with SR

Then SR can be easily used for learning information that has tree structures as well as 1:1 pairs

And since the tree structure is the structure of general subjects,

SR can be used for general subjects unlike in the past

Now SR is the normal way, not just for a few enthusiasts on the fringes

Sorry, this is a commercial project, not open source. In fact, if this fails, we will starve. Anyway, it is the core of this app that automatically connects the naturally written note-taking into a form that can use Spaced Repetition. It's hard to explain in more detail, but I hope you enjoy the experience of being able to use Spaced Repetition for the content by simply taking notes in outliner form. Anyway, thanks for the compliment.

Make it Anki compatible importable so you can easily import customers

You're great at giving feedback.

I hate to be a downer, but I found the following using anki - so basically anything with SM2 algorithm, no matter the UI - as a learning tool for my tech notes:

1) it doesn't scale. You'll be overwhelmed with repetitions once you're in the high hundreds, and you will be if using Q/A style questions. And what's your daily strategy once it hits thousands?

2) I've converted all my notes from libreoffice writer to anki using python and various formatting tricks, and while the import outcome was perfect, most of the notes are useless - too ambigious/too broad/WIP - you'll never remember those well.

3) premade cards are mostly useless for long term - say you want to remember linux stuffs - you can find cards with thousands of items, but to what point - there's only so much time in a day and you want to learn something different than the author did - you def won't spend a year reviewing them.

I myself am confident this problem can be solved with supermemo and creating tailored q/a from my notes and thinking hard what I actually want to remember long term.
