Nifty. As an Anki user, I see this as a feature I really wish Anki had. This is an area where I am more than willing to spend money for an excellent product (which Anki strangely fails to capitalize on). Good luck, I hope this grows.

Obligatory HN cynacism: I don't think I'll end up using it due to the massive investment I've already made in Anki + switching friction. Plus, it's not open source, so if the service ever went away I would be crushed (which is really important to me since some of my cards have 10y+ intervals).

Thanks James, You can export Anki Flashcards and import them into iDR as recalls. The catch for now is that only .txt format exports work for the time being. Also, in a few weeks we'll offer self-serve export of all of your recalls in a CSV file which then be uploaded into Anki or Quizlet.
Thanks for the update. This is an important feature for me, too, for a different reason. I've discovered that, with Anki, oftentimes the fastest way for me to bulk edit a deck is to export it, manipulate it with a Python script, and then re-import it.
