Ok, competitor here. I developed FluxCards for Android and also am at zero with my web version but will put money on it right now. Just a few random thoughts:
* Do you know how many flashcards learning apps there are out there? It's not hundreds but thousands. http://www.flashcardapps.info/ http://www.flashcardapps.info/ lists just those available for iPhone.
* SRS? Well there you get the number down considerably (100?) and if only the customers knew how good SRS is! Many apps (Duolingo anybody?) are vastly more successful (or hyped) than any other ugly but good SRS app. Yet in my opinion everybody should at least have learned with SRS once in his life. If I had known about SRS apps when I was at school, I would have been so much more successful, yet when I had to learn Spanish fast, I literally worked through 30 different apps on Android that were all without SRS. After learning with "the best" of these for 2 weeks I realized that being asked the easy words over and over again was utterly pointless and decided to program FluxCards in 48h. Version 1 was in the play store 46h later and now stands at 11k active and happy users.
* Over these 2 years I soaked up all there is about flashcards apps and it is a lot. Of course I came across Anki, Supermemo, Mnemosyne and many others but with that knowledge I'm about to build the next generation of a cross platform (web + android) flashcards app.
If you are good at front end development, maybe you wanna be hired? By Monday I want to kick off the development.
