Anki does have a huge advantage from its excellent spacing algorithm. The prototype I have working so far uses the Leitner system, which is very basic, but an advantage of keeping all the data on the web is the huge potential for A/B testing to figure out the actual best spacing algorithm.
Lastly, I'm not too interested in generating revenue from this project. I don't even have any ideas for monetizing it. This is mainly to scratch my own itch. If I can make enough to cover the cost of running the project (which is currently zero; it's being hosted on a free heroku dyno), I'll be happy.
- zhubert 13y agoHowdy lawrencewu, I think it's fantastic that you're working on something to scratch your own itch! It's exactly what I did a year ago when I started work on http://www.memorific.com http://www.memorific.com to build a SRS that was fine-tuned for software developers. We just changed to public beta a few weeks ago and started generating revenue and it's been a great experience helping people learn, grow, and meet their goals for learning. Keep up the good work on noot.io and have a blast doing it! There's nothing like making a product that people use and enjoy.
