I was going to add that the software is great, too :). Anyway, all the software in the world won't help if I don't study! If you really wanted a web version, perhaps something could be done with one of the many Python web frameworks (Django, Turbogears etc.) and a nice AJAX library (Scriptaculous, JQuery) etc. If the algorithm and functionality is factored out well into a nice API (get cards for a date, rate a card etc.) and bundled as an egg, this could be doable.
