Wossis?

this site

wossis.com is a flashcard viewer with the option of spoken captions. You can view all the flashcard sets (cardsets) on wossis.com for free. If you register with wossis.com, you can create your own cardsets - also for free! Everything is free at wossis.com, except for adding your own URLs to the whitelist. If you have no idea what that means, then - for you - it's the same as "everything is free"!

Technical stuff - wossis.com is written in pure Java, served by spider.my's Spinneret web server, running on Ubuntu at one of XenSmart's smaller VPSes. The font in the logo is a Thai (OK, so it's all Latin characters!) font called Purisa. The site uses javascript, Flash (thanks to Scott Schiller's SoundManager2) and cookies in places, so you'll get a better experience with these installed and working correctly in your browser.

Updated - talk now has notifications, so you can 'watch' user, about, cardset and flashcard talk pages and be notified whenever they're updated. You'll see a superscript next to your login name to tell you how many notifications you currently have. Clicking the superscript will take you to a notifications page where you can follow links or remove your notifications.

Update - a lot of changes in this update. You can now request permissions to edit another user's flashcards, and users have full control over grant / revoke of permissions on their cardsets.

Also in this update is a 'Copy' function for cardsets. If you want to (for example) provide a version of an existing cardset in a different language, you can copy the original in a single operation. Any user's cardset may be copied this way, but the copy will be 'owned' by the user who copies it.

Update - there are now a couple of feeds available for wossis.com - a cardset feed and a talk feed.

Wossis.com is my first Java web project and still limping along, albeit without mail support. One day I'll get round to updating it. These days I can be found at Firtl.com

Wossis is on a VPS at Inception hosting these days.
