Is Supermemo only available as a SaaS?
- orangepurple 4y agoNo it's primarily an awful Delphi for Windows desktop application that is extremely fragile. But once you know how to "hold it correctly" it will be your companion for life. I run it in a virtual machine with all its legacy dependencies like IE. Forget about running it on Wine, it barely works on any version of Windows (lol)
- TremendousJudge 4y agoIf actually using it has this huge friction, how do you manage to use it every day? I always have a hard time creating habits out things that are hard to "start" doing every time.
- orangepurple 4y agoI don't. I developed my own spaced repetition software from first principles based on the latest research :D
- samatman 4y agoI would love a link dump if you have that handy and don't mind. I'm working on something with a spaced repetition component.
- klipt 4y agoIs your code open source? Seems like Anki could do with some competition.
- krageon 4y agoIs it available somewhere? Could it become available?
- mfru 4y agoI am also very interested, are you planning on open-sourcing / selling it?
- wizofaus 4y agoWhat's https://www.supermemo.com/ https://www.supermemo.com/ then? I just signed up to give it a go (requires CC #, but free for a month). Still haven't found good spaced repetition vocab learning site that works well for me.
- jan_Inkepa 4y agohttps://super-memo.com/ https://super-memo.com/ is the software that's being talked about.
- wizofaus 4y agoAh OK, though I'm still curious how there can also be an apparently unrelated online offering at supermemo.com. FWIW, from the very brief experience I've had so far I'm not super impressed, but I'll try sticking with it for at least the month of the free trial.
- jan_Inkepa 4y agoAh, right I don't know the story. Anki has similar problems (a competing service with the same name because IIRC Anki didn't trademark its name).
- Silverback_VII 4y agothey are working together. supermemo.com is based on the same algorithm but is designed to be more mainstream (no advanced stuff like incremental reading & hard to make your own cards).You can buy high quality language courses there(no need to make all the cards). I have both since supermemo.com has an app for the phone.
- brandall10 4y agoThe top-level comment links to a wired article which actually references the paid language learning tool.
