mint-simple-import VS anki

Mint recently updated the API they use behind the scenes, and it broke the preexisting scripts others had written for importing transactions from a CSV (when you link a new bank, it only goes up to the past 90 days).

With my son having opened an account over a year ago, but we didn’t sign up for Mint until this weekend, I ended up writing a new import script for the updated API:

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.
