You are comparing apples to oranges here. Starting up a whole new "study group" community is not the same as opening up a pizza restaurant.

I don't mean to be harsh or mean but OP is treating this as a product rather than a hobby projects with producthunt submissions etc. when in reality it's a barebones clone of a standard application that already exists.

Open communities benefit from numbers. Another developer to Anki even if you'd just wrap around nice web ui around it would be significantly more efficient and valuable then reimplementing the same spaced learning logic and starting everything from 0.

The whole point of Anki is to standardize this field - it's libre software made for the medium not for profit.

This is such an odd opinion. The open source world is filled with different implementations of the same idea and while there is a lot of duplication, a lot of good also comes out of it. I'm not sure why somebody making another flashcard program is such an offense to you. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be more supportive of somebody trying his own thing. Competition isn't bad. It's generally a good thing.
