If Anki’s UI/UX turns you off, I’ve built an alternative called Mochi (https://mochi.cards/ https://mochi.cards/) that uses markdown. Incidentally it also supports Zettelkasten like note taking like described in the article.

Looks great! I have a few questions. - I have a huge Zettelkasten note archive (I manage it through Sublime-Zk, which is getting a bit slow to operate it). Can I somehow directly import all my Zettel notes? - I tried to import my Anki cards, but it seems like while I could go through them, I couldn't assign them to any particular deck/reclassify them. They show up as part of a "Not Found" deck and I don't see any option/drag-and-drop method to move them anywhere else. I'll definitely be giving Mochi a try. Thanks a lot for creating it!

You can import the markdown files as notes, but it won’t maintain the linking. If you send me a sample I can look into adding a Zettelkasten specific importer. > I tried to import my Anki cards, but it seems like while I could go through them, I couldn't assign them to any particular deck/reclassify them.

Sounds like the importer derped a bit and couldn’t find the deck associated with those cards. If you send me the .apkg file I can take a look. Anki’s data model is a little weird and there’s probably some edge cases I haven’t accounted for.

I'll try using this for the next weeks but having used it for the last hour, I definitely like the feel of it a lot more than Anki.

can you export export/save the cards?
- knubie 7y ago
  Yeah you can export decks. The export is .mochi format, but it's just a zip file with some plain text data and attachment files (like images, audio, etc).

    interesting. I'd found the app before but couldn't tell if there was an export feature. I'll try it out

Which spacing algorithm are you using?

You have a distracting typo on your title page - "Spaced Repetion" :-)

I'm interested in the longer form note style but it be thing that keeps me in anki-land is the Android app. Is there a way to export to Anki? I hope understand that that question is counter to you the app's model.

  No export to Anki, but the web app is mobile responsive, and I'm working on native mobile apps at the moment.

Just curious whether this has any connection with Notion?

Really love the look and feel of Mochi. Would love to see sample decks for languages. Like learning basic 1000 words & sentences in different languages.

This app is truly a savior. I use Anki for my language learning and for other things, I use Mochi.

Hey Mochi looks great, really nice work :) I created something similar which I no longer work on (but keep running on a maintenance-type basis). Feel free to be inspired/take features or just compare with another approach. Good luck dude! https://about.vocabifyapp.com https://about.vocabifyapp.com

Where does it save the data locally?

This is a joy-sparking product, as I've been turned off by Anki's UI/UX especially when it comes to code snippets, and I'm very accustomed to Markdown.

Thank you. This exactly fits my needs. I will switch to Mochi.
