Gave this a shot in guest mode. It sounds promising in theory and I agree that linking the Q/A cards to more detailed notes and tree structure is useful but in implementation it felt very clunky and I did not gel with the UI at all. The most immediate issue was that identifying how to actually markdown the notes into a usable question and answer format wasn't clear from the brief description in the intro document. Th…

As you said, I think we should prepare the tutorial more kindly. Of course, it would have been great if it had been fully prepared, but we thought that the first thing to do was to release it in the best condition in terms of functionality. And from now on, we will update our usage examples and tutorials to be more specific. I am looking forward to showing more potential in the future.

Have you thought about a strategy for when someone starts having many cards to review? I used Anki daily throughout my PhD to never forget a ton of machine learning and math. I used it for about 7 years daily (PhD + postdoc + 1.5 years) and I had around 20,000 cards. I just had to review them every day and I basically seemed like a fountain of knowledge. But a year into my professorship, I just didn't have time to do…

Because I apparently watch youtube videos about anki plugins, I recently heard about Load Balancer (https://www.britvsjapan.com/top-20-anki-add-ons/#load) to solve this exact problem. Hopefully this helps you continue to be a fountain of knowledge. Good luck!

Out of curiosity, have you found yourself getting rusty on the information that had seemed long-term locked-in when you were a regular user?

The reason the app's learning course doesn't look so much different from traditional SR programs is probably because your notes don't have a rich structure yet. As your notes get richer, you'll see their structures reflected in the learning course.

To those interested in a more modern-looking Anki (minus the Notion as in the OP): I do suggest having a look at Mochi ( https://mochi.cards/ ). As someone new to spaced repetition ( https://ncase.me/remember/ ) it's been absolutely amazing and I can't praise their support highly enough for being so responsive! It's one of the better subscriptions I've opted for.

The app is HUGE on ios. Should have been smaller.

Our program can feel "huge" for now. Especially on ios. We're planning to work on it soon.

Nitpick: I think "Study different" should be "Study differently". Here's why in case you care. Different is an adjective, which describes a noun. Differently is an adverb, which describes a verb. The sentence "study different" has an implicit subject "you", so it could be written "you study different". This makes it more obvious that "different" is trying to describe the verb "study", not the noun "you".

that's a hundred percent correct understanding! lol

1. Regarding the problem of having to review a lot of cards, this is actually somewhat inevitable. Still, Note Garden made several attempts to alleviate this problem as much as possible. For example, you can choose which range to learn very flexibly on demand exploiting a tree structure. In addition to this, we plan to make the content that the user already know not appear in the learning course as much as possible by connecting each other's difficulty measurement between the notes.

2. Regarding the issue of when the product dies, we are also considering making it open source to minimize the harm to learners when the Note Garden can no longer be maintained. And we have already been developing Note Garden for over 3 years. It won't die right away

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm sorry if my expressions sounded unpleasant. I had no intention of doing that. It may have sounded that way because I am not sensitive to expressions in English. But I wanted to emphasize that if Mochi made Anki better, our app is a complete upward compatibility with it. Sorry to be rude once again. I also have a strong love for this app, so I think I was being harsh.

The main issue was “it's sloppy” and “very outdated”. “Sloppy” implies lack of care went into its creation, which is often seen as an attack on the creator(s). “Very outdated” is imposing your idea of what's “new” and “old” onto your contemporaries, then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronological_snobbery on top of that. Apart from that , your comment was a fairly objective criticism. When criticising, you should wr…

I see. Thank you for your feedback.

This looks great. It seems like there are issues with sign up. There is no sign-up link on the home page. I found it via guest mode --> sign up. After clicking sign up,... there is no form. I'm using firefox. HTH!

You can sign up by just trying signing in your new id and password

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 u…

I'm at thousands of cards my main Anki deck. Since starting it, I added 10 new cards most days. My daily reviews are usually around 100. Granted it's a vocabulary deck for language learning so I just pass most cards in a few seconds based on knowing the word. For fields/types of cards that take longer I'd suggest scaling down the new cards per day accordingly.

There are definitely many things that Anki is _not_ good for. But for the things where it's good, there's nothing else like it. The UI might be stale, but this is outweighed by the add-on ecosystem.
