Built by med students who loved Anki and hated making the cards.

The standard

The software is not allowed to claim something it has not checked. That is a rule about code before it is a rule about copy. It is why a generated card has to quote a sentence that is actually in your file, why you are told which slides got no card instead of finding out in the exam, and why the part of the app that adds cards to a deck only runs for a person at the screen.

Why the cards, specifically

Spaced repetition was never the hard part. Everybody who has tried Anki knows it works. The hard part is Thursday night with forty slides open and an empty card, which is why most people stop in the second week, and why the ones who keep going end up pasting lectures into a chatbot with no idea what it skipped.

Lovelydeck does the typing. You still decide whether each card is the right question, and that was always the part that did the learning.

What it is not

It is not a place to publish someone else's textbook. Shared decks are for decks a person wrote, and the app says so at the moment of publishing. It is not a chatbot with a deck bolted on: the tutor reads your class and cites the page, or it says nothing.
