Ask HN: Show your failed projects and share a lesson you learned
I tried to build StackOverflow for flashcards (i.e. spaced repetition with collaboration as a first class feature.) After working on it on nights/weekends for ~2 years, I realized my architecture was shit. I started out with Blazor + F# + PostGres, but eventually I realized that syncing offline client DBs to the cloud was a very nontrivial problem. So I moved to event sourcing. Turns out that's not much better - I started to write my own IndexedDB wrapper, then said "you're a moron" and switched to CouchDb/PouchDb/RxDB. I also wanted to support plugins. I thought I figured that out with Blazor, but eventually I realized that more powerful plugins would want to manipulate the DOM directly. Blazor's virtual DOM kills that possibility. So, I'm off the dotnet ecosystem (I can't express how very, very sad I am to leave F#) and onto Typescript + SolidJS. I would've gone ReScript but that's tightly coupled to React which uses the VDom. Perhaps I should be using Svelte - I'm not solid on any of this new architecture yet. So my project has not yet entirely failed... I just realized I spent ~2 years on the wrong architecture.

Would anyone be interested in a social anki?
FWIW I'm building something from the ground up that'll have this sharing/social thang built in. I also (obviously) think that there's a need for collaborative tools for building and sharing cards, along with perhaps ways to publish your progress. For various reasons I'm not building it on Anki though.

If you had investors willing to write you a blank check to build the best spaced repetition program possible, how would you go about it? Asking for a friend based on a discussion we’ve been having.
I'm building the above thing here: https://github.com/dharmaturtle/cardoverflow

SAAS strategies for offline mode
Not only considered - I'm actively using it. You'll find people complaining about IndexedDB's API all over the internet. They're right - it's remarkably terrible. I'm using Dexie.JS as a wrapper over it.

Confessions of a 0.8x Developer
My dude, speaking as someone who gets really happy when they find a functor in their code, I fully disagree with your last paragraph. You can do FP without knowing anything about the theory. Telling someone that they should read up on a dry, boring academic topic in order to be a better programmer is kinda a nonstarter. When you start throwing around stuff like "You should learn category theory and homotopy theory to really understand FP" only drives people away - it doesn't inspire curiosity (in most people).

Successful SaaS owner looking to take on other projects.
I'm working on an edtech thing - think StackOverflow/Wikipedia for flashcards. Basically, there's a way to remember an exponential amount of information - it just isn't popular because the existing software is terrible. Despite the terrible software, it is very popular among med students, since they have to cram so much info into their heads.

Show HN: Anki alternative with integrated notes and import/export
> I also hate that the anki shared decks web site does not encourage collaboration...
Dude, I'm building exactly this. I'm not basing it on git for various reasons, but I am using event sourcing, and git is basically event sourcing for code. My system will (eventually) allow pull requests, comments, upvotes/downvotes, and all kinds of community shenanigans on flash cards. It's months away from release... but here's the repo if you wanna have a look: https://github.com/dharmaturtle/cardoverflow

Here's another link that I recently saw about something related which is most likely not interesting for you. Just in case: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/nalar8/open_source_web_port_of_anki/ which is about https://github.com/dharmaturtle/CardOverflow

Can I import large decks from AnkiDroid to iPad (Anki App), and keep them synced without AnkiWeb?
But if you are still above limits, then there is an open source Anki sync server code. You can run it on your PC and use it instead of Anki Web server: https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server

Is there a faster way for this media sync to finish on anki mobile?
If you have a knowledge of programming, you may use this self host sync server. https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server

Using offline anki server side by side with AnkiWeb
Question here. I have my Anki collection that I use on several machines (2 pcs and 1 phone). However, I would also like to have offline server for storing some flashcards on professional stuff I don't want shared on Anki servers (that could violate NDA agreements I am bound with). I've done some preliminary research and it seems like https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server could be used for creating private Anki server. However I'm not sure how to set it up properly so it won't interfere with my AnkiWeb setup. My guesses are either:
-
What if Anki goes under? Will AnkiMobile still sync with PC established and edited decks?
It already exists: https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server
-
Will ankiweb have a premium ($) plan allowing more storage space?
Unfortunately, I reached this limit (with almost 1,8 million reviews and a couple hundred thousand cards), and Git Hub's alternative sync server seems not to work with IOS App. I'd willing to pay for more space, if I had this option.
-
Who else wants to see an official port of AnkiDroid to the desktop (and maybe someday even iOS)?
Yes, maybe the Anki developers wouldn't want to provide syncing for someone that is just using AnkiDroid everywhere, but solutions like this exist: https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server
