25k signups from just HN? That's a lot more than I expected. My startup was on HN frontpage for 22h last Friday and until now (3 days) it gave me ~9k unique visitors and ~1900 new signups. Since before I only had ~30 users the HN post

You can discard a card during initial learning and also during review. This will however remove it so it won't ever come around for review. Not sure if that's what you want? I don't currently support "claim known" d

It does not currently and it's not a priority for me right now. Can you contact me by email? I'm curious about your app, maybe we can work something out.

I'd still use CLJS. Just fighweel alone is worth it. I can see any code change in <1s and have the exact same UI state. It's just much faster for developing. Interop is not bad, I don't do too much interop. I don't us

Frontend is ~25k LOC Clojurescript: Rum + Datascript + React. Backend: Cassandra + Datomic + Elasticsearch + Redis + Clojure. SAAS: Mailgun, Datadog. Editor: Cursive IDE (hands down best Clojure editor)

There is currently no way to manually test yourself on a course part. You now just learnt them and if you come online now you should see those flash cards due for review. Then depending on if you answer them correctly or wrong they will com

Please use the category "Engineering". Categories are currently hard coded and some have special handling in front-side code so categories will have to be manually requested. I think Latex support is interesting. I could lazily lo

Datomic is awesome! I'm loving it. I'm using the "Pro Starter" edition with a single transactor + 2 Cassandra nodes. Only thing I disliked was that ref-many are unordered (a set). I have not considered Titan, I looked in

Absolutely! This is actually one of the key differences from other SRS software. Ie. you can search the central DB for flash cards and just "add them to the learn queue" or "Claim known". Check out the video on my landin

No, the currect feature set will remain free forever! I will offer additional features for premium. I anticipate similar prices to my competitors which should be $8-$10/month or $40-$60/year.

My own custom one actually. I wanna get more data however to improve upon it. Right now I don't claim that it's better (or worse) than the existing ones.

UX is not my strength, for years before this I was doing fulltime math + MATLAB :). But it's improving! Yes, it was even worse than it is now not too long ago :o

There is actually a CSV import at "Create flash cards" in SYL. Obviously no pictures/audio importing possible. But it's nice for some bulk data.

The entire cedict.org Chinese-English dictionary is available on SYL (it's over 115,000 flash cards) including traditional chinese (I want to do Japanese very soon). Make sure to watch the video on the landing page, it goes into a lot

I actually did hit the rate-limiting on my server :) But yeah, I then also hit your HN rate limiting for my account. Thanks for the quick fix!

They cannot currently. My goal right now is to avoid too much fracture and try to build a high quality central DB with lots of audio/image files and the right synonyms and (not yet impl) linked example sentences. Though, I can probably

I have a different model than most existing spaced repetition algorithms that's more of a continuous model (I currently just sample it to get a due/"not due"). I actually worked a lot on it at the end of my PhD in signal

There is currently no download option for the DB. I had to focus on other stuff. Though, most of the 1.8M flash cards that I currently have are under a Creative Commons SS BY licenses. So you can certainly reuse them.

Thanks! I love tooltips so that's why they're everywhere :) I'll have to think about if I want to remove them from the menu or make them slower. Yes, enter should submit the form. I think I had `onSumit` defined at some point

No there is not. I have kind of the feeling that Anki users are tough to convince to switch to an online platform (judging by comments I've received so far). It's tough since you'd have to find a corresponding flash card for

I'd probably suggest animated webp. They're super small so they're fast to load. Browser support is limited but since it'd be specific to a course... User will just have to live with it. I do currently create webp for ev

Sorry to hear that. I know it's a bad excuse but: I don't own any Apple products so I haven't tested IPhone or iPad. Though I did test a MacOS VM with Safari. Can you try to use firefox for now? I'll try to borrow an iPh
