Rebuilding Anki with Codex and Agents
intellectronica · x · 2026-07-19
The author finally migrated from Anki to a new app called SmashCards.
Using Codex on the iPad, he generated the app while letting the Hermes agent handle the deployment and management of the web server, getting a working first version ready just while watching TV. The next morning, Codex also migrated his roughly 23,000 cards from Anki to the new app.
The core value of this app is "complete customization to personal preferences": whenever the author finds something clunky, he just has Codex or Hermes modify it, and a new version is ready shortly after.
