I’ll mention that I’ve gone full-time on an iOS/macOS tool for learning Japanese through reading called Manabi Reader: https://reader.manabi.io
It combines reading and flashcards, such that it tracks every word and kanji you read and learn in order to show you analytics on what you need to learn to be able to read something or achieve JLPT goals, and highlights unknown/learning words in texts. Next up for the flashcard part is to replace the SM2 algorithm with FSRS for the flashcards, as well as having flashcards get passively reviewed simply by reading content.
I also suspect people are missing out on speed of learning when reviewing flashcards one at a time for hours. Besides actively recalling reviewing flashcards passively while reading, I’ll experiment with other review techniques like seeing a page at a time of vocab / revealable answers. Our minds absorb at the periphery of our vision and scanning/inputting a bunch of information at once, too. I’m unconvinced flashcard UI is the final expression of forgetting curve research based learning apps
Also working on Reader features such as manga/pdf/youtube/game emulators, plus expanding to all languages.
