Earlier quoted context omitted.

Drivers distracted by talk is already a thing through radio, phone and physical company. A purely voice-driven anki should not entail more risk than a conference call.

I'm also ethically opposed to phone conversations whilst driving, for the same reasons as above.

That makes sense and I respect your opinion, but I don’t share the concern.

My country, Spain, has reached just 29 deaths per million inhabitants and year due to road accidents by focusing on the big risk factors, such as dui, speeding, lack of seatbelt use, overall disregard for traffic rules, texting and handling phones, bad infrastructure status, etc. and I don’t think talking while driving is a big part of the remaining risk factors that contribute to deaths.

That last part is just my opinion though; I’m just saying the problem is serious but imo lies elsewhere.

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. Examples: It's my job to keep your complicated brain ne…

"Write smartly" is normal to me as a speaker of British English. That's not to say the alternative shouldn't be preferred though.

British people dress smartly and often act smartly but I've never heard anyone say a a book was written smartly, if you see what I mean.

They'd probably say "smartly written". But of course that wasn't the original phrase. My point was solely that it's not strange to us.

Well, throw me in the bucket of people who've been lost by that decision. Sounds potentially interesting, but I'm by no means invested enough already to go through the whole account creation thing just to try it.

After reading your comments, Our marketers just decided to add the function to use the app as a guest again. So now you can use the app without signing up. Isn't it good?

It is good, thanks!

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.

I'll pile on to the Mochi lovefest as a former Anki user: the ease of noting cards using Markdown is a blessing. I usually use org-mode for just about everything but I made an exception for Mochi. Cross-linking cards really makes you feel like you're building an interconnected web of tiny thoughts.

And if you're a Linux user, Mochi has you covered too!

Hey Hackers, The main concepts of this app are 1. Take notes in a tree structure. 2. Test immediately without wasting time and effort to create flashcards separately. 3. Review with the optimal learning cycle calculated by the SR algorithm. This is probably the question you are most curious about. “What is the difference with other competitors?” The long and nerdy answer: https://learnobit.postach.io/post/to-everyone…

I'm working on a similar tool, while probably not that fancy[0]. Question - what is SR algorithm are you using? [0] https://rekowl.com/
