I made a better Anki! And just maybe a Tiktok for learning Chinese too!
Hey all!
I wanted to share with you guys a passion project of mine that I've been working on for the last year that's finally ready for everyone to use!
Many of you already know that spaced repetition systems are the best way to grow vocab over time, but Anki decks can get really repetitive and you don't have control over what you learn, so I built an app with same core as Anki but that generates/recommends sentences specifically for you based on your vocab and the words you want to learn! All the sentences you get contain the words you need to review.
It even adjusts difficulty, comes with sound and you can ask AI questions and filter by topic too! I used this to go from HSK 2.5- HSK4 the last few months.
I then figured, well, if I made something that finds the best sentence for my exact level, I can probably use the same system to find good videos too. And it turns out it works really well! I can just infinitely scroll through short videos that are right at my level, and now you can try it too!
So check it out and let me know what you think and if I should keep working on it! It's all totally free right now, and I'd love some feedback. I promise to read all the comments and try to make it better for you all if you like it!
PS: The video mode is only available on the web app right now, Apple and Google require a bunch of stuff to allow videos and UGC on the store, so I still have to go through the approval process there.
I recommend either using a phone browser or installing the web app through the browser if you want to try the video feature from your phone.
