What it actually is

Its killer feature is per-media word lists: look up a specific show or novel, see how many words it uses and what percentage you already know, then pre-study that deck before you start. The built-in SRS is fast and keyboard-driven. It is free but rough around the edges — sparse documentation, an opinionated review algorithm, and a small one-person-project feel — and it assumes you have already got past the beginner stage.
