Firstly, I wish you all the luck; this is a genuinely useful category of software and there simply aren't enough alternatives out there.

That being said, the big hurdle with SRS software is ... lack of content.

I wrote one too but gave up on it because creating the content takes too long.

What I'd like to see someone create is an open and free wikipedia-type-everyone-can-contribute-content project specifically for flashcards.

When I sign up to any SRS I want to be able to point the software to (for example) www.srs-commons.org/topics/programming/languages/kotlin, or maybe www.srs-commons.org/topics/history/south-africa/the-boer-war, or www.srs-commons.org/curriculums/us/grade-10/trigonometry.

Students seem particularly motivated to create a commons of cheating material, maybe they could be similarly motivated to add to a commons of study material.

I believe the issue is not a lack of content, but the quality of the content. There are so many decks on https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/, including ones for Kotlin (https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/kotlin) and Trigonometry (https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/trigonometry), but most of them are of low quality or not what I want. Sometimes it's easier to just create a deck by myself.

Hmm - I've rarely used prebuilt decks but maybe I should consider that. Other services besides Anki have them as well. iDoRecall has a bunch that are tied in with OpenStax (a "free e-textbooks for all" project).

It's likely that we add the ability to import from Anki, I'll also add the ability to import from other services that act as flashcard repositories. I've seen a few of them in my research.

However, the project is more focused on giving individuals the platform to create their own sets/import from elsewhere, rather than hosting a large repository.
