Mems removal is scheduled for Monday 5 September

I wish somebody managed to scrape the mems before they were gone. They probably could have been re-hosted and implemented with a user-script.

They said they still have them on the backend, so even if memrise allowed us to download them now it could still work.

doesn’t allow users to share their mems “out of the box”, so I doubt that it would work without further development on the Anki side.

I was only commenting on the ability to see other’s mems, which can be helpful by itself and is not that hard, provided there exist a collection of mems suitable for one’s purposes. Creation and uploading of the mems would be significantly harder to implement and require some external server to store all the community mems, but it can be realized as its own thing without modifying Anki itself. Of course, if one were to use AnkiWeb to store this data, the respective functionality must be added to the core of the code, which is even more serious task (although, considering that Anki is open-source, is not completely impossible).

I didn’t find anything about the original developer or the team that is working on Anki now

As far as I know, all versions of Anki except AnkiDroid are supported by a single guy (albeit with a help of community commits). His name is Damien Elmes and he is quite active on Anki forums and its subreddit, so it’s not hard to get in touch.

Last but not least eco-system is decentralized, with AnkiWeb and AnkiDroid and the such

Maybe I am misinterpreting what you mean, but the system is centralized. AnkiWeb is the site that is used to store all the data online: decks, addons, personal study information. It serves as a basis. All other things - desktop Anki, AnkiDroid, Anki Mobile - are just client applications for different operating systems and can all be linked to each other through the AnkiWeb account.

We have some of the mems stored here:

Archive of 60000 mems [former "A way to save all your mems"]

UPD: There is no way to download mems from Memrise anymore, they have been removed completely The link to everything that has been backed up during the time the thread was active: MemDump archive With the recient news saying that support of mems’ creation and browsing will soon be discontinued, and the only option of saving mems provided by MemRise itself is one-by-one clicking and downloading images while copypasting text into a separate text document, I wrote a script to mass-download m…

Of course, it’s just a small fraction of everything that was available on the site, but maybe you’ll make some use of it.

Its pretty absurd that they would go through all the trouble of creating such an advanced community forum and then fail to listen to their diehard users who freely create innovative courses for them.

If only we could pull together enough disappointed users from these threads to crowdfund building something as good as the 2012 version of memrise…

Hi there! I didn’t follow this regularly and all my mems have been removed!
How can I restore them?
If not possible how can I get a refund since the terms of the agreement have been substantially changed?

Hi all, since the purpose of this thread was to announce the removal of mems, which happened more than 1 month ago, it will be closed now. Just a bit of housekeeping.

Please do feel free to create a new thread >here< should you wish to continue the discussion.

Thanks for understanding.

Thanks Ale,

This is probably the best thread to use now:
