Recommend using Anki for this: https://apps.ankiweb.net/ https://apps.ankiweb.net/ I try to add new words/concepts/things etc. I learn into Anki. IMO, it greatly helps me with memorising various and more obscure terms, that I used to always forget.

Could be difficult to put in lot of latex or even diagrams. We need something which can auto-generate the notes for us.

  I'm actually working on a knowledge base / memory retention application. I'm not yet sure what I'll do for the "best UX", as I want to avoid UI work (not my area), so I expect I'll export to something like Mochi[1] or Anki. Can you describe your format and processing a bit more? I'd like to have some understanding for potential future use cases. Eg, what are the sources (format/etc), and how would you envision them generating the Anki cards from them? Does your source currently have enough data to generate cards from? Or would someone need to go through and separate larger documents into Anki cards? Appreciate any detail you can give :) [1]: https://mochi.cards https://mochi.cards

    Not familiar with Mochi, but it looks uncannily like https://www.notion.so/product https://www.notion.so/product

  Exactly what I am working on. https://www.primerlabs.io https://www.primerlabs.io Primer generates Anki apkg files too. I am way behind schedule to launch it. But I am working as hard as I can to ship soon.

  I've tried using anki for non-vocabulary stuff. My impression is that to recall some fact, what I put in the card might not be what I care about recalling. e.g. for Set, wikipedia has "a set is an abstract data type that can store unique values, without any particular order". Whereas what I might care about is "a Set has items, and it's quick to check if the item is in the set". -- If I don't know what a Set is and haven't used it, it's a bit tough to come up with a description I'm going to care about. While vocab flashcards are straightforward, non-vocab flashcards need more maintenance.

    I use anki for math, computer science, languages and a lot of other things. i do this successfully (at least by my standards) and i think it works very well

Michael Nielsen (The author of the popular free online book Neural Networks and Deep Learning) has a great long form essay on using Anki titled "Augmenting Long-term memory": http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html
