• Anki – Powerful, intelligent flash cards

  Check out Mochi if you’re looking for an alternative. It probably ticks most of your boxes already. https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Anki – Powerful, intelligent flash cards

  No one has mentioned it yet, so I'll drop this alternative: https://mochi.cards/ Much prettier than Anki, has a simpler algorithm that doesn't require rating difficulty, and has lots of the same features. I'm a subscriber just because of the cloud sync - wish I could self-host but I'm happy to support the developer. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• WhisperSpeech – An Open Source text-to-speech system built by inverting Whisper

  Not OP, but I develop Mochi [0] which is a spaced repetition flash card app that has text-to-speech and a bunch of other stuff built in (transcription, dictionaries, etc.) that you might be interested in. [0] https://mochi.cards. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• How to Learn Fast

  You can try Mochi (not my site) if you don't like Anki. Source: 8 months ago

• Some notes on local-first development

  I built Mochi [0] from the ground up to be local first. The architecture is built around pouchdb for the local database which syncs to and from a remote couchdb database. It's been a challenge to implement and in hindsight I wonder if it was even worth it. Unfortunately neither of these technologies are very widely used any more (if they ever were). I am glad there is a lot of development and research in this area... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Show HN: Learn Japanese by Reading on iOS and macOS (SwiftUI)

  A way to create Mochi [0] flash cards would be nice! [0] https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Obsidian for flashcards and spaced repetition?

  Dont know if it can do any kind of integration with Obsidian, but Mochi can do spaced repetition with a better UI aesthetic compared to Anki. Source: 10 months ago

• Effective Spaced Repetition

  I’d like to add Mochi to the list https://mochi.cards/ It’s just a standard flashcard tool like Anki, but with a much better user interface and a simpler (IMO superior) SRS algorithm. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Effective Spaced Repetition

  Not Anki, but you can use the AI field in Mochi [0] to generate content for cards [1]. [0] https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Anki-Fy Your Life

  I started out using anki to improve my Spanish vocabulary. Eventually discovered Mochi [0] here on HN. Far better designed and executed, well worth a look if you're interested in Anki. [0] https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What does note-taking enable you to do?

  Notes are assets you should actively use, not just collect. This is a common mistake when note-taking. People take notes, sometimes copiously, and then forget about them. In order to maximize use of notes, you have to periodically revisit them, if not in its entirety then partially, and keep the main ideas in your memory. This can be leveraged through spaced repetition apps like Mochi that help you keep the most... Source: about 1 year ago

• 120 hours of Comprehensible Input for Thai (personal experience) - x-post with /r/languagelearning

  They suggest using flashcards along with comprehensible input but it's really up to you how much you use the flashcards, you can just make a few cards each day for the words that you are getting stuck on. I also prefer https://mochi.cards over Anki as it requires less setup and looks nicer. Source: about 1 year ago

• Go-to resources for working with global aphasia

  For word finding issues, I've also found that errorless learning (simply having the patient repeat target words aloud three times or read them aloud) with spaced retrieval can be helpful for practicing single words or short scripts/phrases. I like to use the Mochi flashcard app because it is easy to set up spaced retrieval settings. See https://mochi.cards/ With Mochi, I usually set up an account for my clients...

• Anki and GPT-3

  This is one of the reasons I made Mochi[0]. I couldn’t understand how this was the best recommendation for new people. Anki can be very useful and powerful but it is so user unfriendly as to be down right hostile. (Plus Mochi has GPT-3 built in) [0] https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Anyone else frustrated with Obsidian/Anki dilemma?

  Mochi is a modern and markdown based alternative to Anki. Not specifically related to Obsidian, but they offer an API which could be used to build e.g. An extension. I generally keep my flashcards separate from my Vault, mixing the two just gets messy and isn't fun to use. Https://mochi.cards. Source: over 1 year ago

• Learning a second/third language

  I've personally been using mochi.cards as an alternative to anki because it has unimaginably better UI. Source: over 1 year ago

  Mochi does this. It uses markdown too and it's a pretty modern app. https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Looking for a simple, robust, fast note taking app with offline mode.

  Isn't really a note taking app but I am using it as one; Mochi Cards. Writing it for people surfing here, a good GUI + minimalistic approach. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?

  A few years ago I discovered Anki (a spaced repetition app) for helping me learn Japanese. I immediately recognized the power of spaced repetition, but really did not like using Anki (it's pretty clunky and requires a lot of configuration to work right). I started building my own alternative, Mochi [0], which I wanted to kind of be a cross between Anki and Notion. I'm pretty happy with where it's at now and I've... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
