I've been in the spaced repetition community for years and we honestly feel extremely niche and small even amongst eachother. It's cool to see that the community might be larger than I thought.
Sort of off topic, but I'm always really surprised how well posts about spaced repetition and Anki do on HN.

Personally, I would love to have the dopamine response that allows for repetitive tasks to become appealing. Unfortunately, I've roasted my attention with social media and YouTube.

Cool! Slightly off topic, but maybe an idea for someone to pursue... I figured out at a very early age that I could not memorize text in a script, or poetry, or even flashcards very well. But because I started playing piano at a very early age, somehow I could remember song lyrics verbatim. I could probably sing/recite at least 200 CDs worth of lyrics end to end. When I wanted to learn Spanish, memorizing songs was w…
I will try your idea to create a bunch of Spanish and Italian (2 foreign languages I was/is learning) songs to see how well it would work for me.
However, this seems different.
> automatically improve cards you find challenging.
This is not something I have seen any of those other tools attempt to do yet :-)
Respectfully over on r/anki I see maybe 3 or 4 posts a day about a new AI tool for Anki. It seems like people are reinventing the wheel more than they are using Anki...

If you try it tell us how it goes in a github issue!
Also I recommend giving openrouter a try to quickly test multiple LLMs. In my experience claude sonnet 3.5 is slightly worse in super strict rule adherence but way better at wordplays than 4o so might be better for lyrics. I'm suspecting a secret sauce in their secret tokenizer. Don't know yet about deepseek-chat, which I'm migrating all my apps too.

Combination of gpt-4o for lyrics, and Suno for songs made me and my wife pretty much stopped listening to regular music over last year. I will try your idea to create a bunch of Spanish and Italian (2 foreign languages I was/is learning) songs to see how well it would work for me.

I think the idea of "optimized learning" is largely appealing to us nerds and electron technicians. Personally, I would love to have the dopamine response that allows for repetitive tasks to become appealing. Unfortunately, I've roasted my attention with social media and YouTube.
