The Lingq logic may even work, but I think it would be better if it worked with Anki’s logic, for example: the card only appears if you get it right, for example.
The application itself shows that it is inspired by Anki because the export button shows it as “Export Lingqs anki”.
Anyway, I don’t understand why it isn’t like that…
I don’t study much in the vocabulary tab because it doesn’t seem like an efficient method to me.

I think the short answer is that Steve doesn’t use flashcards. The long answer is that the Anki algorithm is really complicated; for what is does, it can’t be beat.
I use Anki daily, but don’t export the wordlists from LingQ. I’ve tried it, but don’t find it a useful feature. I make 100-200 LingQs per day. Over 10 new words a day in Anki is overwhelming.
I’m studying Spanish and LingQ interprets each separate verb form (hablar, habla, hablasteis, hablasemos… ) as separate words. I don’t need 53 cards for each verb. I don’t want to make sure the definitions are all clean an matching for each form. It’s just a nightmare.
I use Anki very differently than I use LingQ. When I’m in class with a tutor and I can’t remember a word, I write it down and make a card later. In these cards, the front is in English and the back is in Spanish.
I use LingQ for expanding my passive vocabulary through extensive reading, and use Anki for expanding my active vocabulary.
