Hey HN, we built this recently because we saw a gap not being filled by calendar/note/todo apps. We noticed that even after writing down notes/ideas we wanted to remember, we’d forget them because our brains just aren’t good at keeping things top of mind. It’s possible to set manual reminders but it quickly becomes too much effort.

Would love to hear what people think (constructive feedback please). Happy to answer any questions too. Thanks!

I'm a huge fan of spaced repetition and a regular Anki user. I think the value proposition is a little too vague here. It seems like your target market is people that don't already know about or use spaced repetition. In order to win them over, I think you need a more specific reason to use the product.

I saw another YC company recently that is using spaced repetition as a means for corporate training. I'm not saying it's the best or correct market, but that strategy seems plausible to me.

Good luck!

Thanks! That was helpful. I agree we can do a better job with the copy on our landing page.

I use Anki as well for learning Chinese, but the use case is different for me.

What YC company are you referring to?

I agree that the value prop is too vague on the homepage. When I first looked at it the question that came to mind is, "How is this different than Evernote?". It seems like a paid version of note taking system. Perhaps you can focus more on the differentials. I noticed your comment said something about setting reminders, but I didn't see that on the homepage. Maybe I missed it.
