SunghoYahng··on Show HN: I'm making an integrated learning tool, like Anki and Workflowy in one
Is that the fault of the app? The rabbit does nothing wrong. However, I am confident in the usability and functionality of LearnObit. Perhaps the most similar to LO is RemNote, but more than that, more than any other app.

I see. I am sorry that you are not willing to try new tool while you hate the old thing.

The reaction when this app was first released was that this was so complicated. But I have been trying to mitigate it all the best... I would appreciate it if you can give me a feedback after trying it out.

Thanks for the feedback! I was also embarrassed that there are so many ideas that combine Spaced Repetition with a note-taking tool.

But nonetheless, I still think LearnObit is the most special and the best of them. In any case, to explain your question, in the tree structure used by this app, a leaf is a card (so it's not about memorizing a nested list). Like this: Fruit> Apples> Taste: Sweet

And in the process of making the user memorizing, this app shows cards in clusters according to their position in the tree and the predicted rating and that's the point.

Okay... Thanks for the suggestion

Hey hackers. For the past three years, I've been working on LearnObit: a tool that helps users learn information as quickly as possible using various learning theories and tricks. When I first started programming, I used Anki and the old tried-and-tested spaced repetition algorithm. It was great for word-pairing (e.g., learning foreign languages), but didn't work for more complex, general topics like Mathematics or Physics.

This drawback has led to spaced repetition being overlooked, despite its proven effectiveness in learning and retention.

I wanted to unlock this effectiveness for a wider audience — that's why I made LearnObit, a notetaking tool that lets you structure complicated information and learn it as easily as possible using spaced repetition and other learning features.

It's been a year since I released it to the public. For a while, people told me they loved the concept but found the interface lacking — yet finally, I think the tool is developed enough to be useful.

If you take learning seriously, you need to check it out. Who knows, maybe it could change your life.

In the meantime, I'll be here if you have any questions. Thanks for your time and support.

Okay... Thank you!

Thanks for the positive comment. But I would say that LO is not only a RemNote-like app with a few more features, but also is completely different in its core (how to turn note-taking into a form that can take advantage of Spaced Repetition). This is a difficult part to experience until someone actually uses it.

Also, I would appreciate it if you could tell me which parts of the design are worse than RemNote, in your opinion.

I am embarrassed by too much competition. Honestly, although LearnObit is the most promising of all similar products.

If anyone still sees this: My product was featured on HN. Now what? I no longer have communities to post to.

I didn't know the meaning of obit at first. My intention was to reduce "orbit". (and LearnObit-Rabbit, Learn oh beat, Learn a bit) I think the meaning of obit fits well with the overall mood of LearnObit, so now I think it's good. Some weirdness is good.

I think 'Guidance' of Playground is doing that
SunghoYahng··on Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and WorkFlowy in one
It is an error. Sorry for having such an experience. I was surprised to hear it. I don't know why such an error occurred. Anyway, thank you for letting me know.

Thank you. roam is an outliner tool that I hear often mentioned these days

Thanks for the advice. I didn't know that people would want to see how things actually appear in the Memorizing part. What you suggested (putting data that can be deleted into the Organizing part) sounds very good.
SunghoYahng··on Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and WorkFlowy in one
I am thinking of various functions. For example, when a concept is introduced and later, when the concept appears again, one can immediately see what it was when it is first introduced. That's why I said it's like an IDE.

Ah, thank you. For electorn, I use this service: https://www.todesktop.com/
SunghoYahng··on Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and WorkFlowy in one
This is completely different from LearnObit. If that is an SR tool, it would be a combination of learning resources and SR functions, but LO is a note-taking tool combined with SR function, sort of. Anyway, thank you for showing me an interesting example. I planned to add a viewer for learning resources to LO.

Okay... Thank you for telling me about your experience. I got where the confusing point is.

Maybe you've noticed it yourself now, Playground is only for organizing parts. I think it would be nice to have a Playground for the Memorizing part, but now it doesn't have that one... To make it appear there you have to put the content in the real Organizing part. Anyway, I found out that I need to make that part a little more understandable.

SunghoYahng··on Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and WorkFlowy in one
Yes. I've heard people who see this tool as an outliner tool want that feature. But to be frank, the priority is low, so implementing that feature will be pretty late.
SunghoYahng··on Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and WorkFlowy in one
Thank you. I also like the idea of having a separate Playground and making it like a pixel-game.
SunghoYahng··on Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and WorkFlowy in one
1. Okay. I got that there is still too much stuff in the app.

2. I thought the Playground is for those things. Was that not enough?

SunghoYahng··on Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and WorkFlowy in one
Corrected immediately. Thank you!

It seems to be a good way to assist with main usage. But I think it's dangerous to try to compose questions with it alone. In my personal case, I found it too burdensome to create such questions. Of course, if I want to learn something really deep, the way you said would be good.
