I went from 'well it's OK' to 'I quite like this' to 'it's great!' in about 10 minutes.<p>Creating a new web account loads the tutorial page, but it's a little confusing at first how to add a node. Also, there are quite a few spelling and grammar errors on that page which will make an unfair negative impression. If you clean those up you will get more conversions.<p>Examples:<p><pre><code> It's my job to keep your complicated brain neat and tidy and remember **things** for a long time!
Here's how you can **create** a neat Note Garden.
2. Structure what you have learned and put **it** in order.
I even take care of your knowledge so that you won't forget **it** for the rest of your life!
(The road to being a great gardener** was **not easy, but we did it!)
</code></pre>
Note also in the last example how the bold markdown surrounds the whitespace. I highlighted this manually (and carelessly) but clicking on a word also selects trailing spaces. You should probably strip the whitespace.<p>On the landing page 'Write Smartly' <i>is</i> correct English, but people rarely use the word this way - although it is technically correct it feels weird, and you don't want to create that feeling on a landing page. 'Write Smart' would be better.<p>Also, you wrote 'Law students - People who study for a long time that should not be forgotten'. I suggest 'Law students - People who need to study and retain knowledge for a long time.'<p>These are small language errors, but they would be very quickly noticed by your target audience.<p>Finally, the desktop sign-in with Google seems not to work - it opens a blank window and then closes again. Maybe it is just from server load right now.<p>Anyway I like it a lot and will consider using it regularly. I am more of a pencil-and-paper note person but this is one of the nicest digital notebooks I've found.
To those interested in a more modern-looking Anki (minus the Notion as in the OP): I do suggest having a look at Mochi (<a href="https://mochi.cards/" rel="nofollow">https://mochi.cards/</a>). As someone new to spaced repetition (<a href="https://ncase.me/remember/" rel="nofollow">https://ncase.me/remember/</a>) it's been absolutely amazing and I can't praise their support highly enough for being so responsive! It's one of the better subscriptions I've opted for.
Hey Hackers,<p>The main concepts of this app are<p>1. Take notes in a tree structure.<p>2. Test immediately without wasting time and effort to create flashcards separately.<p>3. Review with the optimal learning cycle calculated by the SR algorithm.<p>This is probably the question you are most curious about.
“What is the difference with other competitors?”<p>The long and nerdy answer:

I hate to be a downer, but I found the following using anki - so basically anything with SM2 algorithm, no matter the UI - as a learning tool for my tech notes:<p>1) it doesn't scale. You'll be overwhelmed with repetitions once you're in the high hundreds, and you will be if using Q/A style questions. And what's your daily strategy once it hits thousands?<p>2) I've converted all my notes from libreoffice writer to anki using python and various formatting tricks, and while the import outcome was perfect, most of the notes are useless - too ambigious/too broad/WIP - you'll never remember those well.<p>3) premade cards are mostly useless for long term - say you want to remember linux stuffs - you can find cards with thousands of items, but to what point - there's only so much time in a day and you want to learn something different than the author did - you def won't spend a year reviewing them.<p>I myself am confident this problem can be solved with supermemo and creating tailored q/a from my notes and thinking hard what I actually want to remember long term.
Have you thought about a strategy for when someone starts having many cards to review? I used Anki daily throughout my PhD to never forget a ton of machine learning and math. I used it for about 7 years daily (PhD + postdoc + 1.5 years) and I had around 20,000 cards. I just had to review them every day and I basically seemed like a fountain of knowledge.<p>But a year into my professorship, I just didn't have time to do all of them daily and this compounded to disencentivize me as the number of cards to review piled up into the thousands. I still have Anki installed but I haven't used it much since 2016.<p>One of the best things about Anki is it is free. I wouldn't want to subscribe with a recurring payments, and I like having a non-web app to ensure I could use it indefinitely even if the product dies.
I downloaded it and installed it, but could not try as it requires a signup with email!<p>1. The feature set on paper is impressive, but there should be a way of trying out the limited features in offline mode, without requiring a mandatory sign-up. So consider adding a demo mode both in the downloaded and web version.<p>2. Is there a way to host data locally?<p>3. The Privacy policy & Terms of service take forever to load. The loading times need some serious tweaking.
Nitpick: I think "Study different" should be "Study differently".<p>Here's why in case you care. Different is an adjective, which describes a noun. Differently is an adverb, which describes a verb. The sentence "study different" has an implicit subject "you", so it could be written "you study different". This makes it more obvious that "different" is trying to describe the verb "study", not the noun "you".
I hate creating notes on the computer. I wish e-ink devices would implement some good spaced repetition to their hand written notes apps. When I do use the computer for notes it's hard to beat Anki or org-drill.
If you’d prefer to keep your learning notes in computable notebook like Mathematica then you may try my little side project: <a href="https://github.com/masteranza/ScienceNotebooks" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/masteranza/ScienceNotebooks</a>
Interesting project! Wondering if it’s open source ?<p>Also I’d be interested to know a little more about the translation from notes to testing. To me it seems when I’ve used Anki that it takes great care and time to make a well formed question. A poorly formed question has a massive detriment in knowledge recall. Just wondering how you’ve managed to bridge that dilemma to automate the process.<p>Very interested in contributing, I’m a programmer, clinical educator and love spaced repetition.
Off-topic:<p>I was wondering how the author managed to get the "web.app" domain, but it turns out it's owned by Google (Firebase). Because of course it is.
Gave this a shot in guest mode.<p>It sounds promising in theory and I agree that linking the Q/A cards to more detailed notes and tree structure is useful but in implementation it felt very clunky and I did not gel with the UI at all. The most immediate issue was that identifying how to actually markdown the notes into a usable question and answer format wasn't clear from the brief description in the intro document. The tool REALLY needs a tutorial. After I worked that out though the "learn" tab just felt like any other SR flashcard app and it didn't present the notes in any useful way to make it better than a well curated Anki deck.<p>I've never really tried anything except Anki, Memrise and now this app but it's just hard to recommend this over Anki, as a widely accepted and open source standard. I found this frustrating to use.
Does someone have a way to use any of these apps solely with voice, so I can use it while driving? I’ve looked into anki plugins but did not find anything complete (that is, you can reply with voice), and I can’t be the first to desire this…
This looks great. It seems like there are issues with sign up. There is no sign-up link on the home page. I found it via guest mode --> sign up. After clicking sign up,... there is no form. I'm using firefox.<p>HTH!
Will it stay for free like anki or will you move over to a paid plan?<p>I love anki because it's free and every time I've used a new software, which was better, to learn new things, I had to pay eventually.
“Click +Add a New File button to create a new file”<p>There is no Add a New File button. I only see the Let’s start page. There’s no way to create a new file and no menu other than the sidebar.<p>The only way to create a page is by not following the instructions and through some jiggery-pokery with the mouse on the help page.<p>Am I missing something or just the application malfunctioning?
I've yet to try it, but this looks incredibly impressive compared to the other spaced repetition apps on the market, especially UI and features-wise. I also find it a great idea to merge notes and spaced repetition, a la RemNote.<p>Out of curiosity, what spaced repetition algorithm is the app using? Did you create your own or did you use a pre-existing one?
Minor, but annoying thing: On Mac the Option-key is hi-jacked so that it's not possible to jump one word when editing text. Instead, one gets sent to the previous page. This breaks the normal flow of editing and slows it down unnecessary.
This is cool! Anki + Notion is exactly a thing i'm in the early stages of working on! Any plans for an extensive plugin system? A big thing i desired was the ability to build Notion-like blocks/etc as userland plugins. I really enjoyed how some apps (Obsidian/etc) had great plugin support.
"Click the '+Add a New File' button to create a new file."<p>Call me stupid, but I can't find the '+Add a New File' button. Where is it? If I click "Files" on the sidebar, I only see a 'Let's Start!' card. I signed up as a guest.
I'm still dreaming with a service which would allow me to build short online courses with a Google Primer look&feel; the course catalog and the course itself. I believe that for some specific types of audiences, that learning experience is unbeatable.
I was really confused for a little while, because everything was in Korean. It seems that if you enable JS for `notegarden.web.app`, then the content in English.<p>Maybe consider looking at the Accept-Language header for a default in this case
I can't use letters from Polish alphabet: ó, ą, ę, etc.
Doesn't look like for example option/alt+o doing something, but I can't type "ó" anyway.
Chrome on MacOS
Great to see a lot of people jump into the field
There are alot of note app over three, but not much app to help people on learn/maintain knowledge.
