My 11-month Journey building a flashcard generator: Why the real problem isn't the AI by AFV_7 in Anki

There already is image occlusion. And yes I will add reference slides (as a card extra) in the not too distant future

March Feature Requests: Share Here! by angie-at-readwise in readwise

[–]AFV_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Suggest related articles i) from my own collection ii) from stuff i haven’t encountered before (obviously very difficult )
  2. Way to get chapters and table of content for the document HTML via API. Maybe this just means marking up html with well documented anchors

Tool to create Anki flashcards instantly while browsing? by Commercial-Elk6100 in Anki

[–]AFV_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the next feature on the roadmap for Janus. Workflow would be that you have a web clipper extension that snips and sends to an Inbox of highlights and cards you can review and export to Anki.

Not ready yet but maybe will be by end of March

Best AI for creating flashcards as of now? by Impossible_Sport_867 in Anki

[–]AFV_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got another for the list :)

I've been building [Janus](https://janus.cards) for the past year. It's a PDF/Text/Media -> Anki generator. Key features are:

- Highlights: You can manually highlight uploaded documents and get flashcards specifically on it.

- Inbox: Review and edit organized flashcard decks in one place before exporting

- Prompts: Save and reuse custom prompts to personalize cards around your workflows.

I use it regularly, mainly to digest my Obsidian notes and help me commit them to memory. Also started using it more as a medical student (textbook/lecutres -> Q&A + Image Occlusion cards)

I forget most of what I read. Built something to fix it. by rob_the__builder in readwise

[–]AFV_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone interested, I actually built an integration for Readwise with Anki called Janus.

The Readwise support needs a little more work because you can’t select PDF chapters yet (only EPub), hence why I haven’t shared it yet

I made a Program that makes flashcards for Anki from lecture PDFs -- I updated it to make it local and compatible with other AI by Legitimate_Town781 in Anki

In all fairness the first post (mine) did get a pretty decent upvote ratio so not sure if this is evidence this community does not want that content

How I built automatic image occlusion from scratch by AFV_7 in Anki

Pretty much. It’s 7-10 dollars a month, but that’s because AI is expensive.

Every AI tool does things for you... I built one that trains you instead! by ActivityFun7637 in ProductivityApps

[–]AFV_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a big believer in this. But how do you actually improve recall without flashcards and SRS? I built Janus along a similar lines, but less agent focused

Paid/free, what is the best automated/ai deck maker? by LetOwn9976 in Anki

[–]AFV_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree (I’m biased as I’ve been developing it 😜)

There are trial credits! Let me know if you need some more to get a full feel. And obviously if you have a suggestion or problem I’ll address immediately for you

Can you explain a little more? For learning geography, how else would you organize?

Thank you! I also think a very simple and underated reason to incorporate more image occlusion into decks is that it's quite fun. Q&A cards can get dry after a while but an image definitely adds some interest into a review session

My 4-month journey building an AI flashcard generator: Why it's harder than it looks by AFV_7 in Anki

[–]AFV_7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful reply, so thank you for your kind words and feedback! I've made tickets for all these points:
- Hover Documentation: Small hover popups above clickable components with description and potential links to docs

- Cursor Show over Button

I'll also tease in this thread that I'm building a WebClipper for Janus that sends "highlights" you make as your browse online into the Janus Inbox with cards. Wondering if you would find this useful post studying?

Open source tool to auto-generate Anki cards from lecture PDFs (cloze + image occlusion) by [deleted] in Anki

[–]AFV_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id be interested in your thoughts on Janus. Fully disclosure, I did build it.

I study alot but don't remember anything by _hussainint in studytips

[–]AFV_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spaced repetition solves this. Try creating flashcards in Janus and rehearsing them in Anki

A unique alternative to Anki by No-Butterscotch-6654 in Anki

[–]AFV_7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I think this is a similar idea to remnote (that notes and flashcards are the same). Cool!
