I'm still dreaming with a service which would allow me to build short online courses with a Google Primer look&feel; the course catalog and the course itself. I believe that for some specific types of audiences, that learning experience is unbeatable.

"Click the '+Add a New File' button to create a new file." Call me stupid, but I can't find the '+Add a New File' button. Where is it? If I click "Files" on the sidebar, I only see a 'Let's Start!' card. I signed up as a guest.

I'm sorry. That button was supposed to be there, but it wasn't implemented... (yet) Anyway you can add new files by clicking the + button on the top page.

Can't find it. This is what I'm looking at: https://i.imgur.com/QRbuClR.png. Anyway, I can tell you put a lot of work into the app, nice job.

Sorry for confusion. Click the 'My Notes' and find the big '+' Button

This is cool! Anki + Notion is exactly a thing i'm in the early stages of working on! Any plans for an extensive plugin system? A big thing i desired was the ability to build Notion-like blocks/etc as userland plugins. I really enjoyed how some apps (Obsidian/etc) had great plugin support.

Although not yet, user created plug-in function will be added.

Oh ok, I didn't realize that was a clickable link. Thanks.

For what it's worth, I had the same issue. The Add a New File button was not obvious enough for me to find.

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…

I'm going to guess that some/many of your cards have a high cognitive load - not just a question of recall, but perhaps solving a problem/proving a theorem. Or even stating a complex theorem can take time.

I solved this problem by having two separate decks. One that is purely quick recall, where if you know the answer you'll flip through the card in seconds. The other deck is the high cognitive load one, where it may take, say, a minute or longer for some cards.

I review the "quick" deck daily - it takes perhaps 5 minutes. It's hard to convince yourself you can't spare 5 minutes.

The other deck I do less frequently - perhaps target once a week, and block out time on your calendar for it?
