> Also, the idea that energy efficiency should be a top concern basically undermines the whole idea of developing new technology. I’m sorry but this is such a dumb argument. Of course new research will burn energy - there’s no question a

I agree and we should be concerned about those industries too.

At a minimum I would say any new SRS app or site needs to be Anki-compatible. It just has such a big lead in terms of mindshare in the space - though I agree with other comments that it definitely has some seriously dated features. Any inte
