I’m a long-time SR user (over 20 years—I started with a manual system of physical flashcards and a notebook). My rate of card creation is very slow to avoid bogging down my repetitions. I add only a few cards (<5) a day, so I think that “cards from a PDF” or web page would not be helpful.
Tools that would be helpful:
A tool that allows me to create cloze deletions from images.
Something trustworthy to automate adding cards from my Duolingo lessons—Duolingo’s main failing is poorly selected repetitions.
I should also add that I don’t use Anki. The UI was awful five years ago (and that’s coming from a former SuperMemo user), and it’s hard to integrate into my daily workflow. Instead, I use Logseq.
In your first point, do you mean something along the lines of: given a card, create some sensible cloze deletions? This seems very doable to me. Duolingo seems harder…
I have also come to realize that the feedback is mostly relevant when the questions have some complexity and require longer answers. This seems to be in conflict with the spirit of this post and maybe SR in general. The question-answer-feedback loop does seem pretty powerful though, but I am not certain how to get the most out of it.
And I will have a look at Logseq for some UI inspiration :)
