Hi HN! I first posted CleverDeck about 2.5 years ago and received a lot of support and encouragement from the community. Since then, I've built it out into a more general purpose spaced repetition system and added seven new 3000-word frequency lists for major languages. I launched the big update today (<a href="http://cleverdeck.com/blog" rel="nofollow">http://cleverdeck.com/blog</a>) and would love to once again submit it here for feedback. Cheers!
Hi. I actually had it in mind to create something like this myself -- a mobile-first, nicer-designed version of Anki. But it looks like you already started on this, 2.5 years ago. Always the way..<p>It definitely looks nicer than Anki. It's also better for creating simple cards, something which I haven't really been able to do on the Anki app. The workflow for adding a new card is a great experience. I <i>do</i> think that creating my own cards is an important part of the memorisation process. I've downloaded pre-made cards before, but the stuff I use in conversation is almost always the stuff where I've created the card. Those are the words/phrases that leap to mind.<p>One issue - my recorded audio didn't play when I reviewed the card (either on the front side or the back side). Maybe a bug?<p>Based on just 5 minutes of experimentation, I expect that this will become my "on the go" card creator, while I'll keep Anki around for the time being because, when I create cards on my laptop, I can import Forvo pronunciations etc.<p>Have you thought about how to monetise this?
Do I understand correctly that paid subscription effectively removes 100 card limit? The description on the Settings page says something about "unlimited access to all content," but I can't seem to understand what this means exactly.<p>PS. I'm probably not the only one who stuffs his wallet deeper in the pocket upon seeing an "auto-renewable subscription." I would strongly encourage you to add non-subscription way for people to give you some money. I like what you made, it's useful and I'd like to support you, but no way in hell I'm entering a recurrent $ committment with a vendor of any app that I may or may not be using few weeks from now.
Great work, I've been searching for something like this for a while, and never really liked the UX for Anki. I love the UX, very clean and easy to use. Tutorial / intro was the perfect length, gave me a quick run down on how to use it without taking too much time.<p>I almost skipped over this because I didn't know what "spaced repetition system" was. My only suggestion is to market it around what benefit the user will get out of it, and not SRS / or the algorithm behind it.
Just downloaded.<p>Quick feedback: flicking away a card takes too long (vertical distance) of a flick. I have to carefully drag it from top to bottom for the card to flick away. Wish it was more sensitive. Perhaps 30% of the screen height is enough of a threshold. Otherwise, thank you. Going to be using this!
I love spaced repetition but serious question - what can you give me that Anki doesnt. Yes, I know Anki's interface is ugly but it is open source so I can actually change things and know how the spacing algorithm works. etc.
The UI is great andI love that each one actually has example sentences, but the text isn't selectable and you can't tap to get the definition of other words in the example sentences.
The great thing for me is that there are great materials for lesser studied languages - I've used it for both Turkish and Persian, which ive really struggled to find.
Actually really quite well done, got it after the first posting, and quite enjoyed using it! Still do from time to time, the interface is seriously meditative :)
Looks pretty good (coming from a Anki user).<p>One piece of feedback: The toolbar UX in the deck is confusing as it's inconsistent with every other iOS app. The 'back' button should be on the left and the 'options' button needs to be on the right.
How much effort is it to add a new language? My wife is trying to learn Serbian using spaced repetition and had an app to create her own flash cards with her own pictures and sounds, but it's very laborious
<i>CleverDeck</i><p><i>Spaced repetition system for iOS</i><p>Might be effective to have "memory" in there somewhere?<p>Also, somehow the first 3/4s of the linked page (before scrolling) put me in the frame of "this product is primarily about making my own decks".
This looks really cool, I was just thinking earlier today that I need to set up some Anki decks.<p>I just have one question: Do you gain any rights to user-made decks? Ownership or usage rights or otherwise.
