Anki is great - the original Supermemo algorithm on which Anki is based[2], makes for fascinating reading [1]
However, I daresay that this is a usecase that is tailormade for the mobile rather than the desktop in any which way.
I wonder why the core team is spending effort behind a desktop app, rather than go full mobile.

- pzzz 11y agoIt is much easier to create large numbers of cards on desktop than mobile. There are also a large number of third party add-ons available for desktop https://ankiweb.net/shared/addons/ https://ankiweb.net/shared/addons/
- sandGorgon 11y agoIt is actually much easier to use a desktop browser as well. Yet, most traffic now is mobile. Flashcards are a mobile usecase, I actually think a desktop version is actually limiting for them...maybe that's why Supermemo never became a roaring success.
