Brainscape forces each card into their own deck, so I’ve had to decide where to put certain cards. I can have one card with multiple tags, so I can view it in different scenarios (such as people that I know from our #meetup, but also might be a #client). I kind of wish I could combine the two systems I even considered using both side-by-side for different kinds of content, but decided that was overkill.Īnother thing I like about Anki is the tagging system it uses. In particular, while Brainscape’s algorithm is great for many kinds of learning ( here is a bit about their algorithm, and this white paper goes very deep into it), Anki’s is better for others. It was a tough decision to switch over, as there are some things I prefer with Anki. They’re very similar systems in both cases you can download or create your own decks (including text, images, sound, etc), and then review the flashcards (with varying algorithmic “spaced repetition systems”) to begin to learn them. However, over the past few weeks I’ve been playing with Brainscape quite a bit and now I’m making the switch away from Anki. This post from late 2016 explains it quite well, and you should probably read that first if you’re not familiar with Anki and these kinds of learning systems.Įarlier this year I dug into Tinycards, but I was fairly unimpressed and Anki was still tops for me. I’ve been a heavy user of Anki for a few years now, and it’s changed my life quite a bit.
