You can check out Anki[1]. Apart from the initial setup, you won't have to worry about taking care of the web server. I create separate decks for different fields and then only if necessary do I create subdecks. I also tag all the cards that I create and make sure to spend a lot of time to ensure that it's made and tagged properly. So, whenever I learn something new and I believe at that point of time that it's worth remembering, I create a card for that. [1]: http://ankiweb.net/ http://ankiweb.net/

This and Workflowy are my go-to for personal knowledge repositories. Anki is such a secret weapon. I'm finding Workflowy to be another.

  Yes. It's the ultimate secret weapon! Anki was a game changer for me.

I love anki, and I love this use of it, but how do you quickly make cards? Especially on mobile?

  I'm also a fan of Anki, I never create cards on mobile (though review them almost exclusively there), but from desktop you can check out https://github.com/MFreidank/AnkiVim https://github.com/MFreidank/AnkiVim and https://metacpan.org/pod/Anki::Import https://metacpan.org/pod/Anki::Import. Raw cards are just text, and you can create them with any editor. https://github.com/corollari/ankiTab https://github.com/corollari/ankiTab is also awesome for reviewing. If you want more theory about Anki / Spaced repetition, https://www.gwern.net/Spaced-repetition https://www.gwern.net/Spaced-repetition is the ultimate resource on topic

  I use the AnkiDroid app on my phone. And it's a pain to quickly make cards on the phone. You will get better and faster at creating cloze deletions after creating a few cards on a phone. That's why I only use AnkiDroid on phone to revise (and seldom create cards) if accessing a laptop is a bigger pain.

And if you use org-mode, there's org-drill (similar concepts).
