The app experience is very smooth. I managed to make a flashcard and review it very quickly.

Do you have any support for cloze-deletion? I find that is the number one way to improve your output in a foreign language.

How are you going to stop people making hundreds and hundreds of cards and being unable to review them? I find that people often start of using SRS systems by putting in way too much information and then getting overwhelmed by reviews.

Final question: any plans for teacher/student models. Quizlet has a few nice features for this but there isn't any spaced repetition as far as I'm aware.

Glad to hear you liked the app.

Yes. We have cloze deletions. Hit Ctrl + Shift + C for cloze deletions (or hit the "Eye" that says "Hide Text")

RE: the issue with reviews piling up.

- We have some modifications planned for the algorithm that will make this easier. See the Load Balancer addon in Anki + algorithms like Half-life Regression which are making this easier to deal with.

Also we could all do with a "let me take weekends off" feature :)

Yes - we're working on some features for teachers. If you're a teacher you should get in touch - keen to learn more about what you need.
