RemNote (https://www.remnote.com/) solves the problems people are mentioning about

1) The time it takes to make cards. RemNote allows you to take Notion-style block notes and quickly turn bullet points into flashcards using symbols. For example, you might be in class and make a bullet point in the format

- The quick brown fox jumps over >> the lazy dog

which you can later review as a flashcard that is automatically separated front/back by the >>.

2) The old and unintuitive UI - again, basically just Notion with flashcards. You can easily view all your notes in a bullet hierarchy and then switch over to SR flashcard practice. Even has rich code blocks, image occlusion, tables etc. A much better implementation of Anki's notes/cards metaphor in my opinion.

I am not sponsored by RemNote, just a university student who has bounced off Anki and really likes the app.

As a longtime Anki user I just want to say THANK YOU! Just downloaded RemNote for the first time and gave it a spin. I’ve been using Anki for years for language learning (Ukrainian and Russian and Arabic), but also for poetry memorization. Weird coincidence: a few days ago I was looking for an AI-powered flashcard creator: I get regular emails from curated sources that have lots of useful information, but I am too lazy to create the cards to remember the points. I just downloaded RemNote and tried the AI-generation feature: fed it an article from UkrainianLessons.com and I was amazed at how it gave me a list of useful flashcards instantly. This is a game changer. The ability to study and create “in context” is also amazing since not all information needs to be a flashcard. The Notion-like/Workflowy/Roam interface also looks like a joy to work with. Really hope this is not a fly-by-night startup, as I am really looking forward to a decade of learning with this thing after a previous decade with Anki.

RemNote founder here - been building RemNote for the past 8 years (4 in private for myself, 4 in public), and we're not going anywhere! SRS is the future.
