In short? It's a mess. But since it has been around for so long and is currently -the most used open source flashcard program it is also the one with the most decks people have made -for it.</p> - -<p>The nearest competitor to Anki in my assessment is Fresh Memory. It is a much more compact and -tidy project written in C++ using Qt with similar functionality for spaced reptition using -arbitrarily sided flashcards. On the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flashcard_software" -class="external">list of what's available</a> the only other open source options are Mnemosyne, -another massive mess of Python, or OpenCards, which uses Microsoft Powerpoint of all things for the -deck format. Unfortunately Fresh Memory was abandoned shortly after it was open sourced and has a -whole host of minor issues that need working on. I'll get around to doing that eventually.</p> - -<p>In the meantime, here's a utility that converts Anki .apkg decks to Fresh Memory .fmd decks. -Oh, and it can also output to comma separated value format too if you find that more useful.
