Is there a good space repetition app on Android that you recommend? That only does space repetition?
Mochi is excellent

#42His article https://andymatuschak.org/books/ inspired me to build https://readboost.io/ to embed Q&A and SRS into ePubs. Might be buggy still, but I personally found it quite useful!
I'm getting an internal server error on the preview step! But I really like this idea!

Thanks for letting me know! Haven't used it in a while after losing the initial momentum, day job and all, but will take a look on the weekend and report back in case I can replicate the issue

I use it as an accompanying tool in a real language school (learning German). I started a new Study Set from scratch, and add new words to memorize every lesson. Liking it so far!

Insanely expensive. 18$ usd per month?? I’m going to guess it’s also an Electron monstrosity
It’s amazing how many people try to make an inferior clone of Anki and profit off of it. The only people who ever fall for it are ones with low computer literacy.
It's not an Anki clone and I don't have low computer literacy. I'm a senior staff ML engineer at a large public company. I don't have the time or patience that Anki requires to make it a passable product. Not a childless student without real responsibilities and all the time in the world.

Thanks for recommending it! I’ve had the same issues with Anki and am shocked there aren’t more clones considering it’s open source. Excited to try remnote.
My astroturfing radar is going into overdrive from this comment chain.
I'm not astroturfing. There's been a dearth of quality products around efficient learning. There's Anki, then there's Mochi, a slightly more modern Anki. That's it. It's wild to me how little selection there is in this space.

#47Dropping a product recommendation -- my favorite spaced repetition + notetaking + learning app: https://www.remnote.com/ I'm not affiliated, just a big booster. For those familiar with Anki it follows the same conventions. It has an excellent system for managing cards. Adding cards is as easy as writing a bullet point: [front of card] == [back of card]. They got the ergonomics right and clearly know the space very we…
After using remnote for months, I eventually switched to Mochi (Anki, but prettier). My personal experience was: - it has a clunky and complicated UI: interactions with blocks/line was clunky on mobile and web. - The table UI for showing your cards, can also be very limiting. - Converting blocks to cards by adding ` ` is an ingenious idea. - The use of "AI" is really over-rated.
There were a few rough edges for me with the block-based editing. I chocked it up to me never having used a block-based editor with any frequency.
I stay away from some of the AI features:
- One feature generates additional context for a flashcard as you practice. This burned up my AI credits like crazy and added nothing but distraction to my practice. - Another AI feature for PDF summarizing just didn't work. It made a claim immediately and clearly contradicted by text in the exact area I was highlighting.
The cases where it works, I absolutely love.
