I was working on a product which has FSRS implemented, and is heavily inspired by anki. The change we made was that rather than rate yourself, you have to type your answer and its graded by an LLM. It also has a button to explain the concept to you as if you are 5 (eli5) and you get feedback on your answer. You can also create the flashcards by uploading a pdf and then generate them from it.

I've stopped working on it and am now building something highly similar aimed towards high school students, but any feedback is welcome. This version was built for uni students

mimair.com - I never got around to adding any payment option so its completely free

Me too. I made a specialized Kanji learning app. My different approach is in the cards. I used free dictionary data to create a card for each kanji with all the relevant data in a single card. So a common kanji might have dozens (and even hundreds) of words (each word with 0-2 example sentences) to help you remember.

I like the anki way of self rating, so I kept it. I want to be able to say: “hey, I know I screwed up the stroke order this time, but it won‘t happen again, promise” and hit “Good”.
