I feel like right now anki is only for advanced users. A lot of friends of mine would use the system if it was more appealing
it will lose its charm I think ☹
I have to agree that I like the UI of Anki as it is. There’s an acquired charm to it and I actually don’t want to feel like I’m playing some cheap game (as with memrise, quizlet, etc.). The learning curve is steep but doable, and Anki takes enough dedication that anyone that sticks around just for cutesy graphics probably isn’t investing the effort they should and therefore won’t see the intended results.
I like how it is too, plain and non-distracting. If other people need cartoons and bright colors, they can use any other program. Maybe they can make an Anki Jr. or something for others lol
In principle, I do agree because it makes learning more enjoyable (and learning should be fun!).
However, 1. there are much more important tasks and 2. creating enjoyable cards is much more effective.
