  • There was a previous version of BrindlePit.com. During 2023, we planned a trip to Europe and needed to learn a new language. We built our first flashcard website for private use only, and it suited our needs for learning a foreign language, but it was only usable on a larger screen... definitely NOT responsive. Since we already had an old existing codebase from a previous project, it was much easier and faster to get up and running as quickly as possible. We would have gladly used an existing flashcard app/website, but none of the existing free versions seemed very user friendly. The top two offerings either had too many advertisements or the "learning" algorithms they used by default were so cumbersome it took the fun out of learning. Learning a new language is hard enough for some people, and adding ridiculous learning algorithms by default was unnecessary. The bare basics of flashcards are so easy, we wanted to make our own website... and so we did!
  • In early 2024 we made a choice to rebuild our flashcard website and offer it to people for free . Planning for a public website, we decided on a modern responsive website design, suited for all internet devices. We didn't have a name for our site, but we had a vision. Coincidently, during the design process of the new site, we happened to adopt a dog and we named him "Sitka". He's a beautify brindle colored Pitbull mix, and so he became our website mascot and inspiration for a new name... BrindlePit.com
