After using remnote for months, I eventually switched to Mochi (Anki, but prettier). My personal experience was:

- it has a clunky and complicated UI: interactions with blocks/line was clunky on mobile and web.

- The table UI for showing your cards, can also be very limiting.

- Converting blocks to cards by adding `<==>` is an ingenious idea.

- The use of "AI" is really over-rated.

There were a few rough edges for me with the block-based editing. I chocked it up to me never having used a block-based editor with any frequency.

I stay away from some of the AI features:

- One feature generates additional context for a flashcard as you practice. This burned up my AI credits like crazy and added nothing but distraction to my practice. - Another AI feature for PDF summarizing just didn't work. It made a claim immediately and clearly contradicted by text in the exact area I was highlighting.

The cases where it works, I absolutely love.
