| Hi. I'm the dev behind jpdb. > The key difference is that it is still flashcard based. Oh I have a lot more ambitious plans than just flashcards. (: It's just that you have to start somewhere, and flashcards are basically the current gold standard. No need to immediately throw the baby out with the bathwater, especially since a huge chunks of code can be reused for other forms of learning. > You have an objective right/wrong signal instead of a subjective 0-4 scale. I also have this as an option (pass/fail mode). The con of this is that it lowers the quality of SRS predictions, so you end up having to do more reviews. But depending on how much time you gain by not having to think about how to grade it can become a net improvement, so it's a tradeoff. I haven't yet had the time to precisely measure it yet. > And change examples for every study repetition. For what's worth I have that too. (: > You can focus on individual conjugations or overall knowledge of the word. In Japanese I feel this would be counterproductive, since essentially all conjugations are regular. This means that once you're not a beginner you just want to learn a word without wasting time on conjugations. But for a beginner, sure. And if you want to make any money targetting beginners is the way to go. |
