<p>The easiest job to replace must be the CEO.<p>Look at Musk. He's CEO of six companies (or so), yet has time to run DOGE and constantly post on X.</p>

<p>And here is the source code for Anki: <a href="https://github.com/ankitects/anki">https://github.com/ankitects/anki</a><p>If you want to convince people to use your spaced repetition software over Anki, you need to tell us what's so wrong with Anki that can't be fixed with plugins and that's worth $10 per year.<p>You must <i>demonstrate</i> value above what Anki does.<p>I look at your list of projects in <a href="https://0xdev.gumroad.com/" rel="nofollow">https://0xdev.gumroad.com/</a> and they're all pre-order of things that already exist elsewhere. To me, this smacks of "give me money, and I'll give you promises." Especially the project <a href="https://0xdev.gumroad.com/l/HelpFundMe?layout=profile" rel="nofollow">https://0xdev.gumroad.com/l/HelpFundMe?layout=profile</a><p>You want something for free? I'll give you something for free.<p>Anki absolutely can be improved. For new users, it's very confusing: having multiple decks, the separation between cards and notes, and the search interface are hard for new users.<p>Combine something that is simpler for new users with a demonstrably better algorithm and you might have a minimally viable product. But you need the product FIRST before you request money.<p>Give us something that we can run for one week and know that it's better than the free software that is Anki.</p>

<p>> Faced with this sort of argument, a lot of people will pay lipservice to the need for things like body language, facial expressions, and eye contact, but as an antisocial autistic person, I am afraid that I can't bring myself to understand the importance for such things (if it even exists.)<p>That sentence is the key to the whole article. Koshka doesn't understand that multiple, simultaneous channels of information give richer information than the strict meaning of the text.<p>If you don't believe that information is conveyed through body language, facial expressions, and eye contact, then try watching a movie in a language that you don't understand, without subtitles.</p>
