Hi HN friends, iDoRecall cofounder and 67 y/o entrepreneur here. Today’s version of iDR is a total rewrite of our MVP. iDR began as a digital solution enabling the cognitive science strategies that I used to graduate #1 in my med school class back in the analog 70s [1]. iDR takes spaced-repetition flashcards beyond the bounds of well-known solutions.

You could try using steps(new cards part) for setting up your own intervals. I don't know how much it is fit for your purposes though. What do you not like about Anki's current scheduling, s9w?

I think the entire theory about the intervals is overcomplicated and too much of an overgeneralization at the same time. If users could just have buttons with "110% of last interval", "+2 days", "1 week" that would be the best way. I've written a web app like that many years ago but js development has since outpaced my motivation to keep up. Steps is just manual entry of the first intervals, right? That's very static…

You can choose as many steps as you want, so if all your cards have a single card setting, you can choose the schedule you like once and for all. But I don't know if using Steps in this manner is any good. Just an option.
