I’m solo-building a free Anki alternative using the Ruby FSRS gem: http://cadence.cards/welcome

Would love any feedback—I’m aiming for a more focused, restful take on what I like most about Anki. Styling is done with Tailwind.




The benefit of Anki for me has been the decks that I have downloaded more than the app (I have downloaded 3 or 4 for learning Spainsh and some are a lot better thought out than others). If you are going to gain any traction I would suggest trying to convert some popular Anki decks to your app.Otherwise it will be like the Ubuntu phone I bought a few years ago. Nice product, but next to no content / apps, making it a lot less useful than it could have been.
