Is your "recall probability estimating algorithm" similar to FSRS's retrievability? https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/wiki/ABC... If you ever feel like moving beyond the Apple market you might look into https://github.com/vlcn-io/cr-sqlite I've been using it in my own Anki-clone and am very happy with it.

I still remember Piotr Wozniak's strong opinions about using ML for spacing prediction. But indeed market moves and even now SM is doing research in AI (again) https://www.supermemo.com/en/blog/ai-in-supermemo

CR-SQLITE is awesome. In my dream parallel universe OS would natively support: - file - folder - pipe - op-log and provide primitives to merge op-logs (remove duplicate entries).

Maybe CR-SQLITE could be a gateway, but it feels a bit too high level. E.g. you can't just concatenate two op-logs and leave deduplicate to something else (I might be missing something)

Android version is a roadmap candidate. Baby steps ;)

Installed on my phone and mac, looking great so far! I'm currently learning Hindi and have been taking notes in the class. This is a great opportunity to make flashcards out of them! Edit: a quick bug report: it duplicated all the examples Edit 2: it crashes when you type बे (type ब then add an "e")

thx - on it

I like the idea! I think the mobile site could benefit from having some screenshots of the app.

I've learned more about the Unicode - Unicode grapheme clusters are fascinating.

So, the Hindi bug has been fixed - when you have a chance - please give the 1.4.0 release a spin.

धन्यवाद, it works!

Regarding the first bug: after installing the mobile app again, it imported all the notes again, so now I have 3 copies of each note.

Thanks for confirming.

Regarding tutorials; Good news - 1.4.1 release should be available in the App Store and it comes with the fix for tutorials duplicates. From now on each tutorial document have a hardcoded UUID, so when they get generated on multiple devices they still get merged into one single Document. CRDT is beautiful.

Bad news - existing users need to remove old tutorials for the fix to work. Matching old and new tutorials based on title only could cause problems for some users. Sorry.
