BuboFlash!
Read a PDF or a web page, highlight what matters, and turn the highlights into flashcards. Buboflash decides when to show each one back to you.
Annotate the same document together with other people — and your edits stay yours. Nobody's version overwrites anybody else's, and a card you are in the middle of learning is frozen against changes upstream until you have finished with it.
Buboflash is tested on Chrome and Chromium. Highlighting web pages needs the Buboflash Chrome extension, so no other browser can do that part yet.
Buboflash is a complete learning system
- You read PDFs and web pages. Documents you upload are private unless you choose to share them.
- You annotate interesting parts or...
- ... you follow your friends' annotations.
- Buboflash collects all annotations in a priority queue for reviewing.
- You review for days and weeks, and when you want to memorise a fact,
- you convert an annotation to a flashcard: a pair of question and answer.
- You repeat it and Buboflash schedules repetitions for you - completely automatically.
Buboflash is smart
- Reviews are spaced so that a card comes back just before you would have forgotten it.
- Buboflash will be increasing intervals between repetitions - 1 day, 3 days, a week, 10 days, a month etc - adapting to YOUR memory and to every flashcard individually
- You will repeat only what you need and only when you need it. No time wasted. Relax. All planning is done for you.
- 100 flashcards, 1,000 flaschards, 10,000 flashcards, more!
Buboflash is shared, without being shared out from under you
- Read and annotate the same book or paper together.
- Share annotations, flashcards and even PDFs - if you choose to do so.
- Your edits stay yours. Editing a shared document does not fork it and does not overwrite anybody else's version - everyone keeps their own view of it.
- A card you are in the middle of learning is frozen against changes upstream until you have finished with it, so the thing you are being tested on does not move while you are learning it.
People who get past the first few cards tend to stay for years - the longest-running accounts have over 800 active days spread across six years.
Praise for Buboflash
First of all, let me begin by thanking you for your amazing work on buboflash. I have been using your product
daily for over a year now and think it is amazing! In fact, I am not sure what I would do without it, when it
comes to both learning new material, and helping me retain old knowledge.

I think you are doing excellent work! It is great to know that there are people who understand the value of
learning,
know about spaced repetition, incremental reading. What I really like about you is also the commitment to
openness
and transparency, that is so important in the world of knowledge management.

Hi Piotr, I wanted to thank you for making BuboFlash. Working with SuperMemo and PDFs has been a big problem for
me.
username: lavedon
it looks really promising! Adding PDF Annotation is a great improvement.

Piotr has now added the ability to export flashcards made in buboflash in PDF to QA txt for importing. This
allows you to build the flashcards on the web, export them, and import them into Supermemo.
This is brilliant as it allows you to work with friends and maintain question context!
