Spaced repetition looks very promising to me. I've been a long-time Anki [1] user, and it allowed me to learn Czech much faster. Recently I launched a website [2] where I try to blend a markdown-based knowledge manager with spaced repetition. It's not an easy task and there's a long way to go, but after adding and maintaining > 400 cards, I already [1] https://apps.ankiweb.net/ https://apps.ankiweb.net/ [2] https://retaind.io/ https://retaind.io/

Basically trying to do exactly the same thing, do you have any recommendations on decks or are you maintaining your own?

Upon reading the OP's blog, I had the same idea! It's cool to see others are hungry for this as well. My basic approach to implementing it in Notion (my preferred knowledge manager) is: 1. build some block template in notion that lets me structure the block such that it’s easy for Mochi to ingest it 2. reads new pages from Notion 3. uses Mochi to generate cards for them 4. build a habit of reviewing Mochi cards, then I will actually learn from the things I write in Notion It looks like you've implemented the core functionality in retaind. How come you decided to go with a separate knowledge base, rather than try to use one that already has strong network effects, like Notion?

  I've been trying to find a solution to this exact problem. I use Notion as my PKMS and I've been struggling to find an integration to make flashcards with my content in Notion. Going to try out your system - thanks for sharing! As an aside, Notion would completely disrupt the flashcard app space (Quizlet, etc) if it had a feature to create flashcards from a Notion database with spaced repetition. I really don't think it would be that difficult for them to implement that feature. Hopefully they will soon.
