I am - or at least plan to. I am writing a knowledge base, focused around a sort of mind-map of information and sources - and for each node I am adding a series of Q&As that can be used for spaced rep.
My goal is a few fold:
1. I research plenty of things in life and I need to document my findings. Not some grand importance to my "findings", merely that I've found I tend to summarize to such an extreme degree that I lose how I came to that summarization.
2. I want to remember my summarizations mentioned above.
3. I want to run a self-experiment on my .. I guess, random access memory. I tend to have terrible memory for the little random details of live these days. What was that movie name? What was that actors name? What street does X person live on? What is my wife's phone number? etc.
I never seem to run into this problem in things I "care" about, namely tech, programming and etc. But still, it bothers me how frequently I draw a blank from my memory. While I don't often see many repeats in this "random access memory" problem (aka movie names/etc), I am curious if I can improve this memory pattern by memorizing the things I so easily forget. I have no data backing it up, I'm just curious.
Why am I writing my own tool instead of Anki/etc? There's a few side features that I want to design a UX around, and see how it goes. It's all an experiment in the UX of information storage, retrieval and memorization/retention.
