Mnemeo – flashcard app with typing and rating modes
Hi HN! I built Mnemeo after years of searching for the right flashcard app. I loved Memrise's typing mode and clean UI, but when they pivoted away from user-generated content, I had to find alternatives. Anki is powerful but wasn't quite what I wanted - the UI felt dated and the web version is limited. Plus I kept hitting ease hell. So I built what I personally wanted: a modern spaced repetition app where you choose between typing mode (for exact answers - spelling, code syntax, languages) or rating mode (for concepts and quick reviews). Same cards, different review styles based on what…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN! I built Mnemeo after years of searching for the right flashcard app. I loved Memrise's typing mode and clean UI, but when they pivoted away from user-generated content, I had to find alternatives. Anki is powerful but wasn't quite what I wanted - the UI felt dated and the web version is limited. Plus I kept hitting ease hell. So I built what I personally wanted: a modern spaced repetition app where you choose between typing mode (for exact answers - spelling, code syntax, languages) or rating mode (for concepts and quick reviews). Same cards, different review styles based on what you're learning. Key features: - SRS algorithm with intuitive 3-point scoring (wrong/close/correct) that avoids ease hell - Everything accessible in 2 clicks - no menu diving - Full keyboard shortcuts - review cards without touching the mouse - Import from Anki/CSV (I migrated my own Anki decks and Memrise courses this way) - Export your study data to CSV - Leaderboards and personal study metrics - Responsive web app - add, edit, study, organize from any device - Text-only for now - no audio/images yet Completely free for now, but looking to add premium features. Just launched after building what I wanted for my own studying. Would really love your feedback and what features matter most to you!

- MTMemKit –- The spaced-repetition flashcard app I've always wanted2024 · ▲6
Hello, HN! I took a few months off and decided to properly build something I've wanted for a while now. MemKit is the spaced-repetition flashcard app I've always wanted. Here's what I mean: - Minimal friction to use. You can immediately start using the app. You are automatically given an account. You don't have to sign up or type in a username or password. A lot of times I'm reading a book and I only have my phone on me. It's super annoying to log into an app when you get signed out, especially on your phone and especially if you don't use a password manager on your phone. MemKit lets you…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
