Hi HN! During the last year, I've been building python.cards: a site to learn Python using spaced repetition. My goal is to make the most of spaced repetition by making it extremel…

This is the basic idea behind https://python.cards , the site I'm building to learn Python with spaced repetition. The hard thing is building the deck. With pre-built decks I expec…

It seems the tricky part is motivation. Very few people get excited by card-reviewing itself. The method shines when there is external pressure, such as exams. I think a sense of c…

Anki is unbeatable for acing any test with a bounded number of questions [1]. It's been successfully used by some top TV show contestants to remember thousands of words [2]. I've b…

Thanks for the tip! I'll try to fix it.

Probably not terrible, but serving a different purpose. I recommend this interview with Duolingo's founder Luis von Ahn: https://www.npr.org/2020/05/22/860884062/recaptcha-and-duol…

It's weird you didn't find the sign-up box to the waitlist, this is how it should look like: https://imgur.com/a/0ZIbz4p , I actually got some sign-ups from this comment! Anyway, I…

Thanks! I definitely will add more examples to the landing page, currently I'm working hard on the decks: pathlib in depth, a tour of the stdlib and Norvig's tricks (a collection o…

Very interesting. According to the benchmarks, with this algorithm, users can review 20-30% fewer cards than with the classic Anki algorithm. Just a few days ago, I published a Pyt…

You may be interested in rust.cards, which I'm also working on :D

Many reasons, most of them hypothesis. For one, the book "The programmer's brain" says that spaced repetition is the best way to learn the syntax, idioms, caveats of a programming …

Shameless plug: I'm building https://python.cards to learn Python with spaced repetition. I've uploaded some videos on Youtube of the process of distilling the information from the…

Catalan has about 10 million speakers.

I find myself bookmarking lots of pages with interesting information, quotes, etc. But going through them later is a total nightmare. Do you have any preferred tool to organize boo…
