Last time I did this (~2011} "Subtitle Editor"[1] was a pretty decent solution for *nix-based systems. On Windows, VisualSubSync[2] was all the rage, iirc. [1] http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/ [2] http:&#

I suggest you take those down immediately... You're infringing on the copyright of over a thousand authors right now. Might give people the wrong impression of you...

I think those values are really skewed... According to their graph, average monthly net income in Germany is over $4000, I don't know any developer here who earns that much. I guess a lot of folks entered their income before taxes, whi

I fully agree. I gave my grandmother (born in 1941) a computer running Ubuntu 9.10 in 2009. Ever since then I've only had to fix things three times, I think, twice because of hardware failures and once because an update broke her Deskt

Looks nice, I submitted some patches to a similar project a few years ago (Mnemosyne, Python+PyQt). What algorithm are you using for scheduling the repetitions? The unmodified SM2 or Anki's derivate of it?
