Have you tried the latest version of Anki? Its design has become modern. From a technical perspective, a software written in Rust, Python, Svelte, and TypeScript should not be considered "very dated". The only issue I see is that I still haven't figured out what "card" and "note" mean, even though I've been using it for more than a year.

the note is the db model. the card is the view on top of that, which includes html and css. many cards can be created from one note, just like a db model can have many ways of being shown

A note is a set of field. A card is a specific way those fields can be displayed to the user.

If you want to learn the elements for example, instead of having multiple notes of the form "element name->symbol", "element name->atomic number" and so on, you can have a note that includes the fields "element name", "symbol", "atomic number" and so on.

The cards then specify which possible combinations to show.
