How about adding an option to group cards within the deck? And how about the ability of grouping different decks?

While studying a subject, you will find many sub topics within a topic. A sub-topic isn't big enough to make a deck solely for that topic. So if we can have an option to group these cards with related and relevant information within the same deck, I think it would be a boon.

Let's say we are learning new words. We can have a group of cards for a word and it's derivatives or we can have a group of card for all synonymous words.

Taking it a step further, how about having an option to group decks of related topics?

Taking it even further, hang on this is crazy, how about having the ability of a card to be part of multiple groups at the same time irrespective of which deck it belongs to?

Say I have a couple of decks for vocab. While studying I come across a word, and say I want to learn all the synonymous words, I can start studying the "synonyms" group that that particular card is a part of. Now say I want to learn the idioms with this word, I can study the "idioms" group to which that card belongs.

These concepts are in fact nothing but concepts of Set Theory!!

It would be extremely helpful to be able to study a deck in reverse. In other words, it'd be great to be able to switch the "Question" and "Answer" parts all the flash cards in a deck.

This is essential to any foreign language-based decks, as one needs to know vocabulary both ways. Not only that, but this is also a great feature of physical flash cards; don't add restrictions when porting flash cards to the website :)

Hey,

I've only been on your site for 3 minutes and I'm digging the idea. I've been using Mnemosyne, then Anki, and now I've seen you've put a social networking twist on the spaced repetition idea. Very nice! And $20 for a lifetime account is attractive as well. However, I have one question that would cause me to swing either way on signing up: While some of my decks are primarily text based, some of them are very much math based, and I use Anki's latex feature all the time to make complex equations readable. I tried embedding a graphic from mathurl.com but that didn't seem to work. Do you think it would be hard to add latex support?

Thanks!
