The flashcard features are terrible

I don't have time to split this into individual feature requests, so I'm going to dump it all here.
* Only 20 flashcards per pdf? That isn't helpful for a longer pdf that has a lot of concepts.
* You can't even generate more flashcards; if you try to generate more, your prior cards are overwritten.
The flashcards can be
extremely repetitive for some cases. For one pdf, I saw 9
pairs* of duplicate cards, meaning 9 of the 20 were useless.* The flashcards can be too wordy, not optimal for reviewing long term
* There is no review functionality within Mindgrasp - it's essentially a gallery of cards, no ability to track what you've gotten right or wrong
* There is no ability to export into one's favorite flashcard system (e.g. Anki, for spaced repetition)
* You can't even select the text to copy and paste it somewhere else, because the card flips when you do that.
Overall it's painfully clear that the people responsible for the flashcard feature have never actually tried to use them for learning material that they wanted to remember (either for a test or long-term).
I can get a better result by just using this prompt with ChatGPT (GPT 4 gives a good result but requires a subscription):
Give me good flashcards for key terms and/or key concepts for the following text. Please don't repeat any cards. Give me at least 60 cards. Give me something from each section.

This is the tweet! And just to add to what null null has said, we should be able to see a mind map of whatever we upload just to get a broader picture of what we are studying. I am new to this AI and want to get good value for the amount I pay from my region. Thank you, mindgrasp. I hope you guys work on this as soon as possible because I am starting school next month, and that's the only reason I paid for this AI tool, so I need to be able to use it to its full potential. Thanks again.
