Fully agreed! I think the existing options for pre-made decks often resemble your "1000 German words" example, and the space of providing good pre-made decks is explored far too little and dismissed too quickly in the Anki community. I can see something like Orbit very likely existing in the set of my future learning tools. Most texts that I read (doesn't matter with how much concentration), flow right through me and nothing sticks. The only way to make them stick is by exercising with spaced repetition flashcards, but creating them often takes so much time that I only bother to do it for the most important subjects. A possible future evolution of the concept where cards unlocked on two independent websites can unlock further cards like "how does concept A (from website A) relate to concept B (from website B)" would be amazing, and seems very much in the realm of possiblity.
