Hi, really appreciate the site and its idea. Though, using this site and app for over a week, I can see some areas that could be improved, and this is how:
General:
- if you choose a color theme for the site, it either applies to all devices, or asks you, whether you want to change it on all devices or just on the current one
- in case you have the input method in cards, I NEED a « don’t know » button. I don’t want to guess the word or write anything just to send some. Because if I just guessed, it’s not learning. And I don’t want to waste time just to type something.
- for non-latin alphabet languages: force writing in the needed language. If we have that, I will automatically notice I type not the meaning but reading of the word instead. So many times I didn’t notice what was asked to do and got frustrated that I did correctly write the word but it wasn’t the task.
- speaking of this, you can make an option « rounds » for translating, for writing the reading, and translating back. This way, we wouldn’t have to switch our attention all the time that it gets nauseous
- a better and easier solution (but i’d also like to have different rounds), is to make icons for what shall be done right now. Reading? A talking mouth. Meaning? Head with a question mark. Translation? A to あ sign. I only noticed the colored lines after a while of using the site but they are too thin and ambiguous, especially in speedy answers
- importing your own deck is clunky and not-straightforward. Not all Anki deck can be imported correctly (for example if they have colored words in the anki deck), and sometimes the card/the task is just missing and you don’t know what to answer (it was a case when I uploaded a csv file with two columns). I also would want to be able to mass-add an input option to a massive anki deck.
Android app/mobile site experience
- please put the ( ->) « next » button on the bottom on the screen. Each time I have to raise my hand reaching this button with my thumb, it gets very annoying and causing pain in my wrist
