I have to say after reading this site and "testimonials like this coming soon!" I am no longer scared that AI will fill the internet will junk. Humans will always be better at generating junk. I'm sorry, but this is not a compelling site at all to me, it feels like "sprinkle ai on whatever" bukkake.

Sorry if it looked bad, I added those testimonials to show how the web app can be used

If testimonials are coming soon, I would advise removing the fake ones and adding the real ones that you say are right around the corner.

I feel like this post should be deleted for obvious self-advertisement. Anki is the golden standard for spaced repetition learning with a rich plugin ecosystem, and allows everyone to retain even more information with the recent introduction of the FSRS algorithm. RepIt is... I don't know? RepIt says it's better, source: Trust me bro. Better how? Who knows.

I understand you don't trust me, so I will build it publicly on Twitter. I have included some bullet points to show how it's better than Anki on the website. Also, it will be online web app and will be in sync for all of your devices. It will also have email reminders.

After the product has been bought, you will get access to a special email ID and discord server. Anyone can talk to me there if they have any problems related to it!

What makes your product different that I should pay for it when anki is free?
[+] 0xDeveloper|2 years ago|reply
The differences are: - It will be a fully synced web app - It will help users select how much they were able to learn. (1, 2 or 3 stars/ratings) - If they learn it nicely, the algorithm will remind them to learn it later, or else it will remind them sooner!

And in the yearly plan, users only pay less than $1 per month!

better how? I could never use this without being able to import my apkg.

Can you DM me on twitter? (https://twitter.com/Adnan_Jindani)

I am planning to add apkg imports for RepIt so if you could send a sample apkg to me, that would be awesome. All anki users will be able to use RepIt easily and will also take advantage of a better UI!

It won't have decks. You will be able to upload your notes and texts on it. You will learn whenever it tells you to. Then rate how you learned it.

It's better because it has feedback-based learning. Based on your feedback, it will tell you when to revise it for better learning. Based on the Spaced repetition technique!

I am validating this and building in public! Would anyone pay for this service?

And here is the source code for Anki: https://github.com/ankitects/anki

If you want to convince people to use your spaced repetition software over Anki, you need to tell us what's so wrong with Anki that can't be fixed with plugins and that's worth $10 per year.

You must demonstrate value above what Anki does.

I look at your list of projects in https://0xdev.gumroad.com/ and they're all pre-order of things that already exist elsewhere. To me, this smacks of "give me money, and I'll give you promises." Especially the project https://0xdev.gumroad.com/l/HelpFundMe?layout=profile

You want something for free? I'll give you something for free.

Anki absolutely can be improved. For new users, it's very confusing: having multiple decks, the separation between cards and notes, and the search interface are hard for new users.

Combine something that is simpler for new users with a demonstrably better algorithm and you might have a minimally viable product. But you need the product FIRST before you request money.

Give us something that we can run for one week and know that it's better than the free software that is Anki.

I need to visually see what your app does and how it is better than Anki before I can decide it is worth spending money on. And Anki is free, so spending money has to be justified.
