Do you mean, it helped you write software that replaced Anki the program or something else? Intrigued

What did you use for scheduling? I've seen ebisu [0] used before but found it difficult to grok. I can say as I've used FSRS [1] within Anki I've started to like its decisions alot.
I think the main thing that keeps me from rolling my own Anki is mobile support. I had an Android app once and having to keep up-to-date with all the changing App Store requirements was annoying as hell. Eventually they took down the app for some compliance thing.

Mobile support was a concern of mine as well but I just took the easy way out and make a simple SPA in javascript and futzed with the CSS until it looked good on my phone (also mostly ChatGPT). One explicit design principle was that I will never support anyone but myself, which simplified things greatly. The SPA interacts with a little CRUD app that uses a sqlite database to store my cards and activity.
