I wonder how it compares with the current SuperMemo. I experimented with SuperMemo around 18 months ago, and it made me fall in love with SRS again. The main reason being the algorithm is less punishing when I skip a day. Maybe it has better defaults? I once skipped a whole week and could get back on track in the next week, in Anki that feels unbearable. Another thing I really liked about it is that you can edit a card as you are studying without having to open a separate window, helps me stay in the flow when studying. But… With a better algorithm I might give it a try in the future… Being FOSS is the real advantage here.

Currently under debate. FSRS is likely better than SM-17.

  Am I reading this right, did users go through >10k repetitions on average?

    Given users were self-selected SuperMemo users who needed to use GitHub to upload exported stats, it feels a low (FSRS benchmarks average ~70k per user, filtered to a random selection of users with > 10k reps). I wasn't involved in the benchmark, and don't know whether `SM16-v-SM17.csv` is a full export. Didn't see any reviews before 2020, and it may only be an export of a subset of reviews. https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/srs-benchmark/#dataset https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/srs-benchmark/#dat...

I really wish there was a FOSS equivalent to SuperMemo. Spaced Repetition is cool and all, but Incremental Reading that uses principles similar to SRS to augment learning novel content and then retain pieces of it through more standard spaced repetition is really next level.
