The idea is great, although I'm a little against the spirit of releasing this as a paid product instead of an Anki plugin/front-end or something. Alas, my biggest feedback is marketing stuff: the english on the landing page is way too broken for a premium paid product; I shouldn't need an account to try a simple app; this is surely not the ONLY (in all caps) app to do "variations". Maybe be more detailed on what the variations are and how it's different from the bajillion free Anki plugins out there.

Probably simplicity. In my experience, SM2 has less levers, and is easier to implement initially.

#24I gotta say of all the flipcard apps I’ve looked at, at this point I don’t wanna create all my flip cards manually AI should
Do it, and I’ve seen none that do. Sure the ability to do that and adjust but at this point, it should just be AI first. Let me put in the topic and refine it in my cards are set up for me on the top things I need to learn.

#26im working on a language learning app and have built a flash card feature as well.
lingodailynews.com lets users read the news in the language they want to learn at their reading level. it creates a vocab list and then you can practice with flash cards.
your approach looks cool but i didnt sign in the try it. you can test mine without creating an account. id love to hear some feedback

SM2 has less parameters, but there is not a systematic way to tweak them correctly. With the optimizer, it's easy to make FSRS adaptive to any learners. There is only one lever for user to tweak in FSRS: the desired retention.
