Anki

Just recently Anki went through what’s probably the most drama it’ll ever experience. If you’ve never heard of Anki, it’s a free, open source flashcard application that uses “active recall testing” and “spaced repetition”, which allows for more efficient study and memorization. Anki was originally developed by Damien Elmes, who created Anki to help him learn Japanese. The word “Anki” comes from the pronunciation of the Japanese word for “memorize”. Anki is nearly 20 years old and over the decades has become extremely popular. With over 21K stars on Github and at least 10M+ users on the Android app alone. This has led to some developers taking absolute advantage of its name and branding.

Thoughts on Hugo

I originally found out about Hugo after browsing Hacker News (YCombinator) and coming across a blog with a footer containing a link to Hugo’s site. You can scroll to the bottom to get an exact example of what I’m talking about. If you click on the link you can see Hugo advertised as: “One of the most popular open-source static site generators.” Beforehand, I had been thinking about creating my own site and was researching what exactly I wanted to build my site with. Reading this I immediately bookmarked it. Hugo also claims to be the world’s fastest framework for building websites. Have no clue how true that is. Although Hugo is freakin fast once everything is set up. I specifically wanted to create my site as a blog and hugo seemed perfect for that. If you look at the themes for hugo it’s mostly just blogs.
