I think the reasons spaced repetition software isn’t mainstream are because 1) nobody knows how make an arbitrary chunk of info “atomic” 2) we haven’t figured out how to make it “fun” 3) it’s too static. When I see a card, I know that the back is gonna be exactly the same.

So what does future spaced repetition software look like? Right now, you rehearse the concept by looking at a card that represents it. But that gets boring. How could you add some variety but still maintain the same “concept” (for the sake of tracking/systematizing it)?

Well, this kind of reminds me of the Model View Controller (MVC) architecture. Imagine an idea as the model. The different cards could be different views of the same data. Or, if that’s not enough novelty: slight (measurable) perturbations of the model.

@michael_nielsen had an example where he broke his symbolic link card into two separate cards. Instead of having the whole command on one card (harder to recall), he had fill in the blanks for each part of the command. But, what if we kept all of them, and enforced an order?1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -
In my head, I’m imagining a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) that represents dependencies for each concept or idea. You don’t get to review card A until you have reviewed and “passed” it’s dependent cards. It’s often said: don’t use other people’s Anki decks. What if this is why?

In fact, what if this *became* the learning system? “Don’t use Anki decks because you’ll miss out on the learning you do when you make the deck” yeah? What if you had an Anki deck that made you make your own Anki deck over time? Start easy -> solve entire problems in your head

The first cards in the deck are the basics. Then, once you’re “good enough” you move onto the next cards. If you don’t do well on the next cards, either 1) new view of the failed card 2) review of prereqs 3) worst case, go to YouTube

Fast forward a year: you’ve learned a few college courses worth of content in 10-20 min a day of Anki practice. It incorporates all the techniques educational psychologists advocate for efficient learning. Spaced repetition. Interleaving. Recall. Really efficient/convenient.

I think something like this could work. So I’m gonna build a little MVP test it

could you send me a link to the repo when you set one up? this seems like fun to work on
