How can I duplicate this type of online quiz?

I've been experimenting with different types of learning aids for science students, and building versions of automatically graded daily quizzes. I also spend time talking about various study techniques like spaced repetition. The first quiz in this article on quantum computing really caught my attention. How do I make something like this for different subject matter?

The most important caveat is that my coding skills are basically nil.

What I really like is the idea of repeated questions that automatically get re-asked at intervals that depend on if your answer was correct or not. This is not something that I had even considered as possible due to lack of imagination.

What I've been doing in the past year or so is creating quick 5-10 question daily quizzes for courses I teach often. I build in some repitition by manually typing questions that I assume (or have some evidence) that students have forgotten during the course.

I'd be willing to put in a fair amount of effort to accomplish this, because I think that having a push toward (and example of) better study habits would be very useful for most students that I see. If it involves learning to code a bit, then the results might be pushed farther into the future, but I can slowly plug away at it. I can imagine that once I figure this out I can share it, helping more people!

I've done some daily quiz building in examview (pros: can make adaptive graphs and scaled drawings, can create variables that allow for more realistic wrong answers with random numerical variables; cons: creating variables is awkward and time consuming), Moodle (pros: everyone has to use Moodle anyway; cons: Moodle), and the bulk in Google forms (pros: super fast to use, students already in Google ecosystem because of their school email, works on random phones and anything with a browser, response rates are higher; cons: building graphs or diagrams must (?) be done externally which leads to simpler question types)

I'm aware that the answer might just be that this is something that's outside of my current abilities. If so, a rough guide to which types of skills I'd need to develop could help, too.
