  1. anki

    Anki's shared backend and web components, and the Qt frontend

    Anki is a great software, but unfortunately it is quite difficult to install on Linux systems. Almost all packages on major distros are by now years out of date or kicked out, because Anki changed its build systems so many times, that the existing package maintainers simply dropped it: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/issues/1378

    Nowadays, the Anki version in Ubuntu is from 2019! The snaps are also hopelessly outdated.

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

  3. emoji_flashcards

    Emoji Flashcards for Learning Languages⚡️📖

    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.

  4. flashcards-obsidian

    🎴 An Anki plugin for Obsidian.md

    There's an Obsidian plugin for Anki -- https://github.com/reuseman/flashcards-obsidian

    It connects with your Anki desktop app. You create notes in Obsidian in a specific format, and they get converted to Anki flashcards. This way your flashcard creation process becomes much easier if you already use Obsidian for note-taking.

  5. free-spaced-repetition-scheduler

    A spaced repetition algorithm based on DSR model

    ... https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/wiki/The... ...

    I'm not sure I believe we understand our own learning/memory anything like enough for this not to be total pseudoscience? Reminds me of A Beautiful Mind.

  6. simple-spaced-repetition

    Simple spaced repetition scheduler based on the classic Anki algorithm.

  7. yomitan

    Pop-up dictionary browser extension for language learning. Successor to Yomichan.

  8. yomichan-with-example-sentences

    Japanese pop-up dictionary extension for Chrome and Firefox. With example sentences.

    To generate: if you're trying to learn Japanese, you can use the Yomichan [1] (or Yomitan now that Yomichan [2] has been sunset) extension for Chrome or Firefox which integrates with Anki so you can create a card for a word you don't know with two key presses.

  10. Anki-Android

    AnkiDroid: Anki flashcards on Android. Your secret trick to achieve superhuman information retention.

  11. Pentive

    Collaborative Spaced Repetition

    > I wonder what the ecosystem would look like if things were otherwise.

    Shameless plug - I'm building https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive which is basically GitHub/Reddit for flashcards. Very much pre-product and a WIP, though the offline client proof of concept is done.

  12. ebisu

    Public-domain Python library for flashcard quiz scheduling using Bayesian statistics. (JavaScript, Java, Dart, and other ports available!)

    I really wish something like https://github.com/fasiha/ebisu becomes the norm. That is, the idea of fitting the cards to your time (by prioritising) rather than you having to do everything there software wants.

    The only bit missing is some algorithm deciding how often to introduce new cards based on your historical data.

  13. anki-ultimate-geography

    Geography flashcard deck for Anki

    There is a shared Anki deck about this https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2109889812
