After announcing the return of Leitlearn in January 2025, I quickly realized that my personal time was limited.
Still, I didn’t want to put the Leitlearn project on hold, especially after all the energy I had already invested.
That’s why I’ve decided to release a beta version of Leitlearn — to provide a functional and usable foundation from the start, with plans to gradually add the remaining features in the future.
What’s Included in Leitlearn Beta
- Authentication with email or Google
- Flashcard creation with cover images via the Unsplash API
- Flashcard editing
- Leitner revision system for spaced repetition
- Express mode to allow immediate review sessions without waiting
Example 1: Leitlearn Beta dashboard
Example 2: Editing an existing deck
What’s Missing
Some features announced for the full version are not included in the Beta:
- Leitlearn AI
- Social features
- Gamification (rewards, streaks)
- Notifications system
Free and Accessible
Even though this version is less complete, it is completely free—there are no payment systems.
A user account is required to save decks and learning sessions.
UI Design Showcase
I didn’t want to waste all the work I put into the design, which I consider my best so far.
So, here’s a look at some of the custom UI components I built, even if they’re not all available in the online version:
