Julien builds StudyDaily and writes its guides from documented tests, primary sources and clearly stated limitations.
Every guide is researched in English, localized for all eight supported languages, fact-checked and reviewed before publication. Product claims are checked against the released app.
How to recover from a flashcard backlog without cramming or starting over: pause new cards, triage the queue, and clear it in a structured way.
How to make image occlusion flashcards that actually test recall: one label per hide, the right images, and mistakes that make occlusion cards weak.
How to write good flashcards: the one-fact-per-card rule, why vague questions create false confidence, and how to write cloze cards that force real recall.
How to choose a desired retention setting in FSRS: the trade-off between review count and forgetting, and how to pick a number for your situation.
Active recall vs re-reading: why testing yourself builds stronger memory than re-reading notes, and why re-reading feels productive even when it isn't.
A troubleshooting order for missing images, broken MathJax formulas, and broken templates after importing a flashcard deck.
How to export Quizlet sets as text, what survives the move, and how to turn that export into cards you can import somewhere else.
How many new flashcards to add per day, why the number compounds into your review load, and how to set a limit you can actually keep.
FSRS explained in plain language: what stability and difficulty mean, how a review changes them, and why it schedules cards better than SM-2.
How spaced repetition works, why the forgetting curve makes cramming fail, and how algorithms from SM-2 to FSRS decide when you review each card.
What survives an Anki migration? This field-by-field guide covers cards, media, scheduling, FSRS memory, revlog, templates and exit formats.
Back up flashcards before switching apps: export, restore a five-minute test, check media and scheduling, keep independent copies, and plan a rollback.
APKG vs COLPKG explained: choose the right export scope, protect scheduling and media, test a copy, and keep an open return path before switching.
Yes — an .apkg carries due dates, intervals, reps, lapses, FSRS memory and the full review history, if the export included scheduling. Here is how to check.
Move flashcards to another app without starting over: choose the right export, protect your progress, test media, and verify the import before switching.
