If anyone is interested to see the WASM + canvas renderer performance compared to Android/iOS builds, I've build my app for the web.
The web app is here: https://app.vocabuo.com (completely free) And the links for Android/iOS builds are here: https://vocabuo.com (soft paywall)
To an untrained eye who does not care about dropping a few frames, the web version is almost indistinguishable from the "native" build. Especially if you add it to homescreen from safari to hide the navigation bar.

I'm working on a language learning app that combines spaced-repetition flashcards with a browser, ebook reader and a youtube viewer.
The main difference between my app and anki/other generic flashcard apps is that it is for vocabulary only, which allows me to add features specific for language learning.
For example, you can set it up such that each word shows up with a different sentence and image each time you see it.

I’m working on Vocabuo (https://vocabuo.com/), a vocabulary-focused language learning app.
Two main differences between this and other Anki-like apps: 1) The words you learn are from YT videos, websites and ebooks you import in the app. 2) The flashcards are optimized specifically for learning vocabulary - cards automatically get audio, images, multiple sentence examples, words definitions etc. It can also create fully monolingual flashcards with just definitions or the words in dialogs.
My biggest flex is that I have users who have done more swipes than me (over 100,000).

What’s baseless about it? The yearly subscription price is like 20 minutes of work for programmers and many users are spending tens of hours on the app.

I'm working on spaced-repetition language flashcards app, that shows you variety of card types (sentences, reverse, audio, definition...) and allows you to add vocabulary from content - youtube, ebooks, website reader.

Nice to see someone taking the concept of card variations to all concepts.
I'm taking this to extreme with Vocabuo[1] for language learning. For a single word, I have cloze cards, reverse cloze, definition cards, dialogs, audio and a few more.
At some point, I'd like to take the card type into account when calculating the next repetition stage, but that's a bit far into the future.

Thank you for the report! I was thinking of redoing the landing page for a while anyway. Are you using a niche browser or something like that? I haven't had anyone experience this issue nor was I able to reproduce it.

I'm building a SRS language learning app [1] so I've thought about this topic a bit, but I've come to a conclusion that srs algorithms might be just a nerd optimization obsession. My app has "stupid" 1,3,7,15,30 or something like that intervals, and the reality is that if I know a card, I can swipe it within 2 seconds, and if I just barely know it, I can spend 30 seconds on it.
So optimizing the algorithm such that every card comes at the exact right moment might cause all cards to feel too hard or too easy. I think having a mix of difficult and easy cards is actually a feature, not a bug.

I was looking for something like this that supports graphs.

App with dynamic/flexible spaced repetition flashcards for language learning.
Recently I've added dialog & definition cards, so I can learn German from short dialogs with images and audio.

I've been looking into FSRS since I'm building a language learning app[1], but I haven't implemented it yet. Can FSRS work if I don't want to have 4 choices - bad, good, hard...? I have found myself to get into a decision paralysis so just bad/good works better for me. Plus I can swipe the cards tinder style! :D
My second reason is that I'm worried about the complexity - both from non-nerdy users perspective and me having to debug it.

I’m building a spaced-repetition flashcards app. Unlike the competitors, the cards have audio, images and sentences. Additionally, it is possible to add words from ebooks, websites and YouTube.
Including relevant columns in the index can massively improve the performance, because postgres does not need to read the randomly sorted tuple in the original table.
