Hitting "enter" instead of clicking the button in registration form does not work. Unsubscribe link in registration confirmation E-Mail does not work. Login does not work (gives 404). But landing page looks nice.

#52You should have a "TRY DEMO NOW" button where I get to play with a demo sandbox. I just want to click around for a bit and I'm too disinterested to make an account.

#53Hi guys, Barbra co-founder here too. Would love to hear your thoughts on the tool as well.

Tool looks great! Out of curiosity, are you planning to monetize? If so, do you mind me asking how?
What do you think? :) is it fair?

Thanks for asking. Yes we are, but we want to always have a super generous free-tier. We were looking into charging educators for using Barbra in the classroom with more features (like tracking, permissions, etc), and also charging power-users (people with a lot of flashcards and notes) a small subscription fee of around 5-8$ a month. What do you think? :) is it fair?

Maybe you could allow creators to make their decks purchasable? Maybe take a cut from that purchase
It could look like this (mockup) https://imgur.com/JVdhnco
What do you think? :)

Anki supports creating cards from LaTeX notes via an add-on[0], and for importing from a plaintext-based format there is a command-line tool[1]. After that, one can use Anki’s accompanying shared decks feature to make a deck available to others[2]. Admittedly, all of those options aren’t entirely hassle-free or discoverable.

Exactly. It takes 100 add-ons to get this to work. We just wanted to make it so that I can highlight a text and say "create a flashcard" and then it is all done. We also offer more tests options as you can do Memrise-like multiple choice test or an Anki-like card-flip test. Is that something that you find useful? :) I know some passion are avid Anki-ers so I would love to get your take on it.

#59I signed up and then got a bit confused when I had to create a hub. Might be a good idea to have an example image or video on the right side of the form to illustrate what it is and how it's going to look after I create it.
Hubs work well for schools (e.g. harvard.barbra.io), but doesn't feel very useful for individuals.

#60Also, when returning from "Sign up" or "Sign in" via the back button, the logo and both "Sign up" and "Sign in" buttons and the footer with the links to TOS and PP are missing, need to refresh.
