Show HN: I hated making Anki cards on mobile, so I built a Telegram bot for it

I've used Anki for years, first for studying Chinese and now for German. Previously, I would never create flashcards on the go, because it's so cumbersome on the mobile Anki app. Instead I would send words to myself on telegram, and then process them at home.

So I got tired of it, and built a telegram bot for creating German flashcards on the go. No languages except German are supported for now.

How it works: - You send a German word or a sentence to the bot. - It uses an LLM to automatically generate a flashcard, complete with a mnemonic, translation, etc. - You customize and save the card in the chat. - And then export your collected cards directly as an Anki Package (.apkg) file for easy import.

Pricing: To cover the LLM API costs and to make the project sustainable, it's $4.99/month after the first 30 cards.
