Anki is complicated to the point of being intimidating. Even just the card/note split is quite confusing—I built another app to drill me on decks backwards and forwards because I found this so confusing.

Yep. My kids needed a flashcard system and I tried, I truely tried to create Anki cards for them.

It ended up being easier to Vibe code a bespoke one that took the input in a format that was easier to provide.

Anki had always the problem of being difficult to figure out how to use it effectively for learning. It's like C++. A million ways to shoot yourself in the foot if you use it wrong.
