Or perhaps a self-hosteable webapp i could add the words myself from curated sources on the internet to then do quizzes on it?
Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.
I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.
It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.
Anki ?
Anki is amazing, but it’s not self hosted without some effort.
https://github.com/LuckyTurtleDev/docker-images/tree/main/dockerfiles/anki
start with env var sync_user1=username:password or something like that
change server url in anki desktop or ankidroid to what you started in docker
done
That seems pretty straightforward if you have experience with that stuff, I don’t have that experience.
Then maybe you aren’t qualified to call something difficult to self-host, because those instructions are very basic
