I was an early user of FreshCards, and it’s a beautiful app, but creating cards was too much work. No share sheet or similar integration.

The easiest thing, which I believe I suggested, was highlight->action to create a new card front, and highlight->action to creat the back or a new front. It needs to work well casually in general, and easy when focused.

I’m sure AI could theoretically help but not sure it’s necessary. Part of the benefits of most cards is creating them yourself.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm currently working on a big rewrite of the app, so it's good to know I should work on reducing the friction of creating cards, such as with the share sheet or some other integration.

Like I said in the other comment, I'm going to play around with some ideas regarding an inbox. I think that on its own would help a ton for just recording things to be converted to flashcards later. There's probably a good in-app UI that can be made to go through the inbox and easily convert the notes created into the front and back sides as well.
