Is there a demand for a standalone spaced repetition app?

I built a homebrew app called 3DSRS. It works similarly to Anki, but it can't sync with Anki. I'm trying to gauge how much demand there is for something like this.

It's available here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-3dsrs-flashcard-app-with-sm-2.680868/

Transferring Decks from Anki:

  1. Export your decks from Anki (it will be a tab-separated .txt file).

  2. Replace all tabs with commas.

  3. Change the file extension to .csv.

  4. Run the file through the converter tool.

Note: Your study progress in Anki will not be synced. Also, if you manage your decks in Excel, it’s much easier to just export it directly as a comma-separated UTF-8 .csv file.

id love anki integration but realistically, i dont think many people connect their 3ds to the internet, as long as it can read anki decks i think it would work really well

Honestly just the fact it exists is cool. This gives me the same charming vibes as the DSi metronome and instrument tuner. I love it.

If it could sync progress with Anki, I would be losing my mind because that would actually be very useful to me. Without being able to do that, this unfortunately doesn’t have a place in my existing flashcard setup.

I would totally use this often if it had Anki support
