Hey thanks for checking it out. Anki is in many ways a great tool and one that I’ve used extensively myself in the past. I felt that the UI could be improved however and that certain features were lacking. One high-level goal was to build an application with a simpler and more modern user experience. On top of that there were features, small and large, that I wanted and felt could only be realized with a new product. Here are some examples:

- Simplified navigation when browsing your content.

- A rich card editor that behaves more like one you’d find in a modern note taking application.

- Search as a first class citizen.

- Dedicated functionality for creating language cards.

- Proper code blocks for people learning software development.

- A way to easily study all my pending items across all folders.

- Improved/seamless synchronization (I’d sometimes get sync failures when using Anki on my phone and on the desktop)

With that said, the application is still very much in its early stages and there are a lot more features that will be arriving over the coming months.
