I'm building a free spaced repetition flashcard tool. Would love some feedback!

Looks pretty slick! A couple things I noticed:

- It wasn't obvious (is it even possible?) how to make or import my own deck aside from the default one of Spanish words.

- Fetching the next word over the Internet introduces some noticeable latency when going from the back side of the previous card to the next side. Maybe you could pre-fetch the next several dozen words in one batch to hide the latency?

I think it should be available without signing up first, at least for a quick demo. I really dislike signing up for anything when I don't even know what the features are, that I'm signing up for.

Really appreciate that feedback!

Anduru_h: Great point - we'll add a 'Demo User' button on the sign-up page ASAP so people can try out the functionality without inputting any info

Goatmobile:

Much appreciated!

1) Not possible to upload your own decks yet, but that's the next on the docket. We'll expand our default offerings, develop a 'create card' function, and improve importability of decks that are delivered through other flashcard platforms.

2) Love this tip - we'll add pre-fetching ASAP!
