Social learning will become a huge space. I love where you're positioned and if you continue to iterate on the UI, I think you could really have something. I'd be working on some killer use cases. You should certainly also allow visitors to see some cool content without having to sign in (and give you partial access to my Google account.)

This is great, nice work, I have been looking for a lightweight browser based alternative to anki. After showing the back of a card when practicing, I find myself wanting wanting to see the front of the card at the same time. Either that, or be able to flip it back and forth. Any plans to add an ability to batch import from a .txt or csv file?

  Thanks for the feedback. Bulk import would be a pretty fast and simple add; I'll make a GitHub issue for it.

Is there a way to discuss cards or suggest revisions? For example: "t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) is an algorithm to convert high dimensional 2d or 3d space, where similar points and clusters are preserved. Useful for displaying scatterplots." is not correct and should be rewritten.

  Not currently, though that would be quite cool. For now, I clarified my version of that card, which unfortunately had a typo. Thanks..

Practicing specific tags would be a good function to add.

  I'm a bit ambivalent about that feature. I do think many folks will want/expect it, and it would be useful at times. At the same time, the primary use of the app I personally wanted is to add things I wanted to remember permanently, and let the algorithms handle all of the work of scheduling optimal practice. Gonna think about this.

I'm really excited for this! I always wanted to use Anki but found card creation to be a huge bottleneck. Bringing that to the browser, with citations, is extremely exciting.
