Many! :)
Summarizing a lot, there is a massive different between a generic tool "for anything" and a custom one for a specific field – let that be languages, chess, music, or whatever.
F. ex. Anki is not suited for long-form content, dealing with audio is a pain, won't let you do shadowing exercises, doesn't know what a synonym is, doesn't know your vocabulary size – so it can't even try to help you in an interesting way, etc.
Then, community-maintained plugins make a very disjointed experience IMO. F. ex. a few years ago there was a good Forvo plugin, then one day stopped working, and that was it – no more plugin, end of the story.
What do you think about Anki? Are you a power user?
Thanks for the long reply - I'm a long term Anki user, more so out of having a process "that works", and that I'm used to, rather than it being some miracle tool.
What do you see as its strengths?
Exactly, I think many long terms users managed to create a setup and workflow that work for them, and they are just happy with that.
I'm sure there are many use cases that I am not aware of.
Anki pretty much popularized spaced repetition after all, much more than SuperMemo.
Hey, Prosemirror! That's cool.
I found one: create 2 nodes, select the second one, hit backspace:
Expected -> second node is deleted
Actual -> both nodes are deleted
Didn't try much else, thou
Oh right, it happens only if there is no space.
However I passed the technical test, he didn't see any problem 😄
I'll probably (aka more than 20% chance) make a demo of how we can make a AI canvas with Prosemirror, I'll ping you when it's done.
It's a desktop note-taking and Spaced Repetition app where you can highlight some word or sentence, and auto-generate flashcards with audio, examples, translations, definitions, etc.; but almost exclusively with human content (AI only for translations)
The idea is to involve the learner into reading/writing/listening/pronunciation as much possible via language production, and creation+curation of own learning materials - so there are a bunch of features geared towards that.
Why desktop and not a website?
Could be a matter of vocabulary?
Don't call it "lifetime", call it "pay once, keep forever", for example.
Hey, this looks quite cool!
I question that comes to mind is about the lesson structure.
Sending 1 a day is a good idea to engage students, but:
How many are there? Can I go back to past lessons? What if I want to go faster? Are new lessons being added?
