Franz, thank you for the suggestions. In theory, SiYuan also has a built in flashcard (or maybe it was a plugin) but the functionality overlaps with logseq and the latter is better in many ways (local md files, whiteboard that works with zotero highlights direct linking through drag and drop, etc). But I didn’t find it satisfactory for some reason.
Other options I found, just for reference and in case someone else is looking for the same in the future:
- traverse.link (online-only so no go, very limited free version and $15 a month currently, although they claim to have student discount but then i’d have to upload my student id card or reveal my real name to claim it and that’s a no go for some random website)
-mochi - local-first, md, functional free version, pro tier doesn’t add much, can imoport from anki but exporting back into anki loses data, so too walled-in

Maybe something like a “random card” function in a note-taking/PKM app that can be applied only to a specific subtree/folder could work too, though the answers would have to be in a separate file (maybe linked at the bottom of the question). and something that can open in split view and voila, you have a question/answer solution. but the spaced repetition algo would be missing, not sure if the standard spaced repetition algo is applicable to literally any person though since people can be different in so many ways, why not in the way they process repeated info?

Hi Lucine.
What’s the reason(s) you didn’t find Logseq satisfactory?
