I've been working on an "optionally online" clone of Anki for... well fuck 2 years now. I was gonna launch it last year, but decided that I needed to rearchitect the backend so it could easily support syncing occasionally offline databases... new ETA at current rate of progress is hopefully sometime Q3. It's open-source as well.
Honestly, if you really wanna help the Anki ecosystem, I would suggest to have a look at the GitHub repo of Anki. There's about a thousand places, which could use some help. The main developer Damien is just one person and can only do so much. Depending on your expertise, there's a lot of different parts to work on, like the new Svelte web views, the Rust backend, or the Python bridge. Damien is really open to PRs and suggestions in general.
Andy Matuschak, a researcher who works in the spaced repetition space, just open-sourced his research platform, Orbit, last week. If you aren't familiar with Andy, I recommend reading How can we develop transformative tools for thought? and Why Books Don't Work. It's damn good stuff.
There is https://github.com/kerrickstaley/genanki and similar projects but no one made a goal to enable unprecedented collaboration for community via public acceptable format.
Check out this project on how to create anki cards: https://github.com/hgiesel/closet/
I believe that an improvement to the web interface requires a good API to talk to the syncronization server and I think that djankiserv can play the role here (it uses PostgreSQL, which is probably best suited to scale)
That's a pretty good idea. It's basically taking https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki and giving it a better UI.
