I am Jeff Benson, a versatile software engineer with extensive experience in creating scalable and robust applications (most recently in the SaaS space). I am open to part-time, full-time, and contract opportunities.

I want to also mention an SRS site that has gotten really polished and isn't nearly as well known as Quizlet and Memrise and the rest - and it's not open source - but the science and the polish are all there (you can even create cards while watching a Youtube video and it will link to that spot in the video as an optional source reference) - it's called iDoRecall.com, worth checking out. (I found it in an old thread here on Hacker News where the creator posted about it when it was new - I followed the link and was stunned at how polished it had become)

I mean, you can always wrap your mobile website in a native-app skin (with Ionic or whatever the modern version of Phonegap is)

It's a fresh start, the way I see it - Anki has a lot of dated bloat that's hard to shed (analogous to the heavyweight Visual Studio vs. the lightweight Visual Studio Code)

Hmm - I've rarely used prebuilt decks but maybe I should consider that. Other services besides Anki have them as well. iDoRecall has a bunch that are tied in with OpenStax (a "free e-textbooks for all" project).

Probably referring to Quizlet and Memrise, and the up-and-coming iDoRecall.com

Same for every app there, but few are $25. I've published an app there before and didn't price it that way.

It's a good start! Keep working on it - Anki has aspects that are very, very dated (IMHO) and an open source competitor would be good for everybody.

This is what RxJS was born for . . . :)

With all this talk of Polar, I want to mention the tool Weava as a great annotation tool. I use it all the time as a way of annotating web content and PDFs. It has a beautiful aesthetic. No integrations with Anki yet as far as I'm aware. (I have no vested interest in the software, I'm just a big fan.) http://weavatools.com
