This is a very nice idea. Thank you! I am currently using spaced repetition to improve my German vocabulary. Using this to remember APIs and technical documentation is a great idea!
While there are a number of comments questioning the utility of doing so and comparing it to having notes in a file, the fact that this is stored in my memory reduces latency when thinking or writing code. I no longer have to look things up which really improves my flow. I see the difference whenever I work with an API I already know and one I'm relatively new to.
I find that when I have more information in my local storage (memory), I can make more creative associations among the data and come up with better solutions to problems.
