emoji_flashcards VS anki

I've been using Anki a bit to supplement my language learning. I built an Anki deck generator that makes emoji/tts/word flashcards! It's worked pretty well for me to get some better word recognition.

I tend to kind of dabble in a lot of languages, just to help me get around when I visit places. And I think it's quite helpful to just grind a bit of words to get some familiarity. Anki has been a great utility for that in the past, but flashcard quality between different languages tends to vary a lot! So I'm hoping that this open-source project could make things a bit easier for me.

Primarily built with Deno, with initial translations and TTS provided by Azure. I'm hoping to slowly replace these over time with real audio and fixes by people who know more about the languages that I lack. But yeah! Hopefully it's useful!

Try the Anki system…there was someone who learned over 10 languages with that method:

And here is the source code for Anki: https://github.com/ankitects/anki

If you want to convince people to use your spaced repetition software over Anki, you need to tell us what's so wrong with Anki that can't be fixed with plugins and that's worth $10 per year.

You must demonstrate value above what Anki does.

I look at your list of projects in https://0xdev.gumroad.com/ and they're all pre-order of things that already exist elsewhere. To me, this smacks of "give me money, and I'll give you promises." Especially the project https://0xdev.gumroad.com/l/HelpFundMe?layout=profile

You want something for free? I'll give you something for free.

Anki absolutely can be improved. For new users, it's very confusing: having multiple decks, the separation between cards and notes, and the search interface are hard for new users.

Combine something that is simpler for new users with a demonstrably better algorithm and you might have a minimally viable product. But you need the product FIRST before you request money.

Give us something that we can run for one week and know that it's better than the free software that is Anki.

This support landed late last year as part of https://github.com/ankitects/anki/releases/tag/23.10

> .apkg imports are able to merge changed notetypes, and can exclude scheduling data

My main use case is for managing my Azeron Cyborg profiles. And recently I have been experimenting with using the mobile controller feature to help do Anki spaced repetition reviews.
