Sort of off topic, but I'm always really surprised how well posts about spaced repetition and Anki do on HN.
I've been in the spaced repetition community for years and we honestly feel extremely niche and small even amongst eachother. It's cool to see that the community might be larger than I thought.
- apwell23 2y agoaren't multibillion dollar companies like duolingo built on spaced repetition. Not sure id call it niche.
- joshdavham 2y agoCan you name another multibillion dollar company, aside from Duolingo that uses it?

- all2 2y agoI think the idea of "optimized learning" is largely appealing to us nerds and electron technicians. Personally, I would love to have the dopamine response that allows for repetitive tasks to become appealing. Unfortunately, I've roasted my attention with social media and YouTube.

- xdfgh1112 2y agoI can tell you haven't used Anki that long. No method is 100% perfect
- Ey7NFZ3P0nzAe 2y agoI'll let you decide if using anki for 6+ years and with a 1000+ days streak counts at "long". In any case it doesn't have to 100% solve my memory issues to satisfy the goal I described above, it just has to solve it enough to make me feel okay with some forgetting because I literaly couldn't try harder.
- yohannesk 2y agoI have a question, do you know of any spaced repetition app that is free for iOS similar to AnkiDroid?
- Ey7NFZ3P0nzAe 2y agoThe anki website has some UI so you could do the reviews there. A bit minimalist though.
