Quisition: An Online Flashcard System

I've previously mentioned that I'm working on a web-based flashcard system. Well I've decided I'm going to try to make a website out of it.

I've given it the name Quisition because it's all about acquisition through inquisition. I've registered the domain quisition.com.

Nothing to see there yet, but there is an atom feed you can subscribe to to get announcements.

Well, there's also a little logo I designed for the site :-)

Over the next month, I'll probably put up some info about how it all works along with some screen shots.

Then, some time in Q1, I'll launch a limited beta to get feedback and gauge interest.

Given your background, I don't have to worry about whether Quisition will be Unicode-compatible. I have toyed for a very long time with the idea of a flashcard app for chinese characters...

I'll be watching.

Will user-submitted flashcard sets be up there? That'd be cool. BTW, you have the dimensions on your logo wrong in the HTML.

James Tauber on Dec. 4, 2005:

dda, it will definitely be unicode-compatible.

Ian, there'll absolutely be user-submitted flashcards (assuming there are people that submit them :-)

Thanks for the catch on the logo dimensions!
