The "sell cards to others thing" isn't correct. The locked down Anki (for highly purpose specific and optimised interface for SRS language learning is what his app is).

I've tried his new app. Built in image search, pronunciation trainers, many included sentences with audio of varying difficulty. Now you can finally add custom words... It's at least gradually honing his vision into an app.

They are also going to have community supported languages, rather than simply not have more rare languages.

Granted, it's a premium app. Currently not got a freemium offering, and certainly not open source, so will put many off.

But at the same time, I know so many people who couldn't work with Anki, but could easily work with the app, so it does at least offer the system to a much broader audience.
