Cloudflare is a nice option if you can adapt your system to run there [1]. You could also run just the frontend on CF and host any APIs elsewhere. Or check these sites [2] [3] with some good reviews and comparisons of hosting providers.

Regarding spaced repetition, RemNote 1.17 an 1.18 has a bunch of AI features for summarizing PDFs and YouTube transcripts and turning that into Q&A for spaced repetition, and they also have a Chatbot interface in-app. Perhaps you could check some of what they are doing for inspiration [4].

I am against adapting my application to fit a particular proprietary platform. My platform should support me, not the other way around.
I understand this position very well! Sometimes there’s room for trade offs, you lose some flexibility but gain something in return.

Also replacing some of CF primitives with something else later can be viable, specially if you plan for it.

RemNote looks really cool, and it seems like they are exploring similar problems to the one's I'm trying to solve. It will definitely be a valuable source of inspiration. Thanks for putting this on my radar!
