But without spaced repetition and the ability to categorise it's not that useful, and I quickly realised that I would end up spending more time coding than learning French if I continued!
I've been trying out Mochi for the last few days and so far I'm very impressed. It's easy to use and looks great. I'm tempted by some of the pro features like speech/translation so I think I'll sign up.
One thing I'm curious about — I've read that writing is a particularly effective way to hammer home what you're trying to remember. When learning a language in particular, I feel it's very useful to write out words to practice spelling etc.
I wonder what your take is on this and if this is a feature of Mochi? I know there's a drawing mode for practicing Kanji etc. but that's somewhat different to a "typing mode" for the want of a better word. Or is it better to incorporate writing practice in a different way?
Anyway, great work and thanks!
I've used Anki extensively in the past but had the same issues with it's clunkiness with edits and tagging, etc.
Mochi is a serious killer app for me, since I use it daily to remember everything that's important to me.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and couldn’t find anything and was going to just build myself. I’ve been exporting from Notion to Anki and it’s been a pain.
My worry is that the developer will shut down and I’ll lose all my cards.
Edit: beautiful iPhone app, laying in bed playing with it
Unlikely as they're trying to make money off it.
