For anyone who follows Obsidian, have they approached the idea of spaced repetition or perhaps plugins for spaced repetition?
A big thing i want in a note taking tool is Spaced Repetition, but not _just_ that, more like a way to manage how much information i'm going to try and keep sync'd with my actual brain.
I'd love this system to monitor how much time i'm dedicating to it, and how much knowledge i'm able to retain in my brain based on available quiz time and retention rates (which would vary, i suppose).
I've often debated writing it myself but so many of these note taking tools achieve 90% of what i want, but miss the retention phase. I want to pour my knowledge into Obsidian, i just want some additional tools to help keep some subset in sync with my brain.
- dunham 5y agoI haven't worked with spaced repetition, so I haven't looked into this. Obsidian does have a plugin system that you might be able to use to add spaced repetition, but I don't know if anyone has written a plugin to do this yet.
- pwdisswordfish8 5y agoObsidian supports plugins, but on that note, if you want to practice spaced repetition, maybe point a spaced repetition app at your notes? It doesn't seem to make sense that a note-taking app should take any particular interest in that use case, when it can be better served by a dedicated app, and there's little overlap with more "ordinary" needs.
- adkadskhj 5y agoI would agree, but for me it's a tightly coupled idea - my knowledge base and a subset of knowledge i choose to retain. So while yes, a dedicated app for SR would probably be "better", i'd then have to make tightly coupled user experiences to sync data back and forth between my knowledge base and my knowledge retention app. To me they're two sides of the same coin. With that said i've long wanted to make my own app here for this stuff, but Obsidian seems very customizable, so i'm thinking i'll just try to make an extension which embeds the necessary metadata into the markdown files themselves.

- feteru 5y agoOthers have talked about using multiple apps with their markdown files, I think it shouldn't be an issue to have it seamlessly sync.
- whimsicalism 5y agoI would love better interoperability between Obsidian and Mochi. Mochi is a nifty little markdown backed SRS app that I've replaced Anki with in my own workflows. Would love to be able to draw from the same vault/folder between the two.
- knubie 5y agoYou may want to check out Mochi [0], a markdown based SRS app. Similar to Obsidian in that it is a local-first architecture with a focus on zettelkasten style note cards. [0] https://mochi.cards/ https://mochi.cards/
- l1silver 5y agoI know that there's a plugin for anki and youtube tutorial on setting it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXyv6pnVGhA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXyv6pnVGhA . Haven't tried it myself but will probably give it a shot
