Could we say that Anki is a non-gamified app for learning?
replies(2):
I intentionally avoided gamification, streaks, subscriptions, and engagement tricks. The goal was calm learning — fewer distractions, more focus.
I’m starting to wonder if this approach is fundamentally at odds with today’s market.
For those who’ve built or used learning tools: – Does “calm” resonate, or is it too niche? – What trade-offs have you seen when avoiding gamification?
