I was wondering about your rationale for not using another app like Anki. I'm a big fan of email and loved the integration of reminders with email of the like provided by Inbox (and sadly missing from Gmail as of today).

But I am also cognizant that there's a context associated with different apps. I've been using AnkiDroid for over a decade now and the context the app provides (mental context that I'm learning something) helps me focus better. Email is usually a stressful context in my mind which reminds me of deadlines and tasks to complete; so I like to keep both of these contexts separate.
