Ok. This is awesome. Had never heard of "Leitman Box" system, but this video of (i think @Anonym_s3) implementing it in absolutely has me convinced it is the best way to do SRS in Roam today.
Great tutorial. Great use case.

curious if you have thoughts on this as compared with Anki flavored forgetting curve.

It's less efficient than SM2 etc but maybe easier to understand/phsicalize. I feel, though, that most people overrate the problem of optimizing the algorithm and underrate the problem of making SRS desirable, valuable, tractable. Optimization opp'ties are a nice problem to have.

eg. This morning I was studying service workers and writing some notes on them, and being able to write SRS prompts inline just completely transformed the experience. It feels completely different than writing atomized notes in Anki. This level of q is the high-order bit, I think

Yeah, seeing the note title and being able to jump back to it from the SRS prompt is key. We've also been discussing more radical models in which the review experience is a roving "window"/lens viewing the prompts in their textsโie all prompts are always in context. Lots to try.

Yes- I love Anki, but after a year of heavy use I know it is not the final answer. Notes become too detached from meaning, context and links with other knowledge. Great for vocab, but not so good in other situations.

Also with Anki you can have an illusion of knowledge by being able to answer a question, but often, especially with cloze, youโre really answering the question โnote with this shape, which word goes in there?โ Or โnote with words A,B,C: missing word is Dโ. Which may not get u far

Are you using brackets to create close questions or is it just the q and a at the bottom? I've been thinking of a notation in roam as I process notes, where I could easily generate Anki questions (with some processing by a script and a plug-in).

Yes, braces create cloze prompts using the containing paragraph.

That's a great sight!
Can expand on how it feels different?
If I understand correctly, the page is targeted at personal use. Or is it meant for sharing?

I feel a sense of ease and support, roughly speaking. The depicted note is meant for personal use, yes.
