DDG's bang shortcuts are awesome. Quick tip - !wt is a shorter equivalent to !wikt :)

I'm curious which aspects of Anki you find to be "very, very dated"? I haven't used Anki for very long, nor have I looked into any advanced-looking features, so perhaps I haven't run into those aspects you were referring to.

sure

why does the app give me a total number of cards to do? why not always present the card I'm most likely to forget and leave me to decide when to stop?

why is it so hard to understand the concept of a note vs a card?

why aren't there more ways to have cards be updated over time, to subscribe to updates?

why does the app cost $25 on iOS?

why can't I execute JavaScript within fields if my html/css is rendered in a browser anyway?

just off the top of my head. many more to list. i love Anki but let's not act like it doesn't have serious downsides

You aren’t under any obligation to continue learning until you’re done with all cards. The number of cards to learn is customizable.

> why is it so hard to understand the concept of a note vs a card?

It’s not that hard, but I guess it makes the learning curve a bit harder. Why it’s done this way? I guess to provide more flexibility. Is flexibility lacking in modern apps? Yes, absolutely. So in that sense this is indeed a dated feature.

> why does the app cost $25 on iOS?

Why is it “dated”? Also - why not? You’re free to use free desktop and web versions. Paying for ios app is a way to support the developer.

> why can't I execute JavaScript

Dunno about this one. What’s your use case? Can’t theg plugins cover it?

At least for the costs question I think the answer is: Because getting it into the Apple app store costs money.

Same for every app there, but few are $25. I've published an app there before and didn't price it that way.

Where's the button to pronounce the sentence on Android? This is a required feature for me and that's why I'm using a competitor

Ask 10 non technical users

I've been working on a clean-room reimplementation that uses the original word list and is visually similar to the original, but also allows for playing unlimited puzzles each day: https://wrd.li

(The order of the solutions is different than the original, and is randomized each day.)

Honest q: could you get sued for that? Likely at least a cease and desist, right?

There are - literally, and at the moment of this post - 473 referenced Wordle clones in 118 languages. Among those 473 clones, very few derive from the original Wordle rules or layout.

Sure you always can. Will it be ruled against them? Its a pretty trivial and not unique site/game.

Copyright? Patent? Registered design?

Pretty nice implementation, but it's missing the best feature: social sharing

You're in luck! You can view completed puzzles by clicking the grid icon in the top right, and you can copy a Wordle-style sharing blurb by clicking on an individual puzzle.

I'll take the feedback that this feature should definitely be made more obvious.

I like it! However there is no "hard" mode where clues have to be used.

Love it, my girlfriend and I are on puzzle 8 now, thank you. Add a tip jar.
