I didn't mention it in the article because the article is hosted on the same domain (with a link to it at very top of page) so thought it was quite obvious. Also I wanted it to stand alone as an essay to see what people thought. If i linked to the product within the article it would turn the whole article into an advert rather than an essay

Okay, but you don’t even mention spaced repetition until the end and only in a single sentence. And obviousness is relative; I did not even notice the logo and base domain, read the title and scanned the text for core concepts, spaced repetition again is only mentioned once, even though in my opinion it’s literally both the topic and your solution to the issue; which was not obvious until I read your comments. Think if you were to ask random people who are not aware of the company, what the post is about — then define spaced repetition and the reasoning behind the company’s name, then ask people again what the post is about — answers would be noticeably different; you could even hide the context and ask if concept of “save all” was mentioned on the page and what it means.

  Spaced repetition is not the topic. The topic is memory and there are many solutions to trying to remember more, spaced repetition is just one of them. There's also things like elaboration, dual coding, mnemonics, memory palaces etc.

    From the linked article: >> Well, new technologies (Save All link) leveraging techniques like spaced repetition mean it's much easier to remember what you learn so its time to rethink that. You don't have to forget what you learn anymore. Might be wrong, but at the point topic is covered and a single solution is presented, it becomes the topic.
