When I started using spaced repetition, I felt weird internal pressure not to make too many flashcards. That was wrong-headed: empirically, I easily absorb cards faster than I can reasonably create them (myself), and it feels way better to just create tons indiscriminately.

It actually feels kind of like a weird conservation-law violation? No matter how many cards I write, it seems I can soak them up by spending ten minutes or less per day. I assume that at some point I'll hit a limit, but it's way, way higher than I thought it was!

(Most of the time, I use a limit to introduce only ~40 new cards each day, which nicely smooths out the considerable day-to-day variation in my card creation rate)

Anki. Very easy to quickly make a ton of cards.

Everything related to my creative work lives in there. Papers, books, products, conversations all generate cards.
