This is an intriguing idea; kind of like the method used in "Lingua Latina per se ilustrata" but automatic and with rich media. This is definitely possible, though the domain space is quite large, some tradeoffs would have to be m

Yeah, I just tried it with the pro subscription, it is quite excellent; this might be exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!

I tried Remnote yesterday for the first time, after another user in this same thread recommended it. I put a paper in, and clicked a sentence and ... it is somewhat magical. This is exactly what I meant, somewhere to have PDFs etc. and an e

Not sure I understood the gist, but let me try summarise what you do generally (i.e. not just for language learning). - Instead of flashcards, you read content/write notes. - You tag said content in some way which allows you to unders

Okay on first try, this seems promising, I'll try the pro sub tomorrow properly and take it for a proper spin, but: - I read a lot of PDFs. I can click a sentence and have it suggest cards, or fill my own. That's already a great s

I agree, it is tricky. But I believe it is possible, see my response in this thread to the user allenu as a middle ground.

Yes, I do something like this now. It definitely does do the job. I just wonder if there could be something more, something smoother perhaps, and the API access could do the trick.

Thank you - I hadn't considered this.

+1 SM is really interesting. Supermemo.guru (URL) is a fascinating resource written by a fascinating person (the creator of Supermemo), but the software is so unusable that it immediately shoots itself in the foot (or head). I don't th

A great shame, I see your point. I guess it comes down to the developer treating their product as something that could "help people" or something that "pays the bills". Hopefully the former would lead them to caring enou

I agree, we need something with a caring UX which encourages habit-forming. I feel like this space is very underexplored, especially considering the 1000s of note-taking adjacent apps made in the last decade.

No problem - I'm happy to help. I spend way too much time thinking about this type of stuff. I'm glad this has resonated, good luck with the prototypes. Let me know if you ever want more feedback.

Fair point, please see my comment in response to allenu, in this same thread, for a detailed view. I did not mean to glaze over this aspect, I am aware this is very important. I can not and do not use AI for automating flashcards for this r

Thank you - I'll give it a try!

I hadn't thought of this; thank you for bringing this up. I will actually read into this. I didn't write it in my original comment, but I almost mentioned the OS because I'm coming round to the idea (albeit slowly) that the O

I've tried Fresh Cards so thank you for developing that app, and trying to add cool new software into the space. Great question. Here's one way to do it: The first is how clunky the process of going from X to flashcard feels to th

I see a lot of discussion about SRS, and I think most can agree they have improved. What I would like to see covered is a more vague area, but almost more important: It’s the space in between reading/understanding something and the SRS

Got it, thanks very much! I think I will give this a serious shot with my own modifications of course.

Hi! Thanks for your response. I greatly appreciate the detail. I very much like this way of thinking - "they only increase in value, the longer you don't look into them". One final question, what is the difference between yo

This sounds right up my alley - one question: do you use this books are reference in the future to help cement your learning? I feel like I would also end up never looking in them again just like you mentioned with the physical notebooks.
