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?

Great to see a lot of people jump into the field There are alot of note app over three, but not much app to help people on learn/maintain knowledge.

Mochi, Remnote, recently Logseq, plus Obsidian and Roam with community plugins. Also Notion with Leitner algo hacked into database. All of these are note-taking apps and have flashcards. I would say it's not that bad :)

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.

"What's 'Smart' and why do I need to learn it?"

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.

As I understand, Mochi is one of so many "Pretty Anki"s. Maybe it's better than Anki because it's Prettier. But, of course, compared to Note Garden, it's sloppy. It is very outdated in that you have to create cards one by one. The cards that are made even after doing the labor are just messed up cards that are not connected to each other.

This is a pretty unpleasant response. Your app very strongly fits my interests but your replies have put a bad taste in my mouth.

I think you underestimate the value that creating the cards individually provides. For me the first learning step is the way I create and structure the card, think about mnemonics, add a photo e.t.c.

Mochi is a great help there, since it provides a lot of small conveniences especially for language learning. The ability to automatically add a translation and spoken pronunciations is super nice and built in a way that it seamlessly integrates into the keyboard-centric markdown flow of the app.

IIRC Mochi is written in ClojureScript and it shows, it's a really simple, yet composable and powerful tool.

The author also keeps polishing it continuously, which I found to really streamline everything.

It's my absolutely most favourite tool for learning languages, because it does its job beautifully, efficiently, and doesn't get in my way, and that's a property that's hard to come by in software these days.
