Show HN: I built a flashcard platform that supports latex and code highlighting
- mvind 6y agoHi HN! I'm the university student behind memordo. I built this because I wanted to help my classmates use flashcards, because I believe they genuinely help with retention. I started from scratch with a blank html document, and now ~600 hours later I have landed on a nuxt/laravel stack. I have learned so much from building out this platform. I have spent a lot of time on the dynamics of public/private decks, checkout: https://memordo.com/app/public/244 https://memordo.com/app/public/244 to get an idea of the platform. Anyways I would love to hear what you guys think about this. I myself personally use this tool everyday to review flashcards. /Morten
- masteranza 6y agoI don't mean to discourage you, but what made you build another platform instead of using Anki?
- mvind 6y agoI have tried to introduce my friends to flashcards using Anki but the whole interface and program somehow seemed daunting and outdated for them. So I have tried to build an online platform with a minimalist UI where it is much easier to collaborate and create flashcards.
- TomJansen 6y agoDoes this use a similar algorithm like anki?
- mvind 6y agoIt uses the simplest spaced repetition algorithm I think there exists, i.e. a 1-3-7 days interval.. schedule. But you can also just quite easily just study N cards, where you can filter on cards tags/types.
