I had considered using spaced repetition software for a while after a long time of being frustrated with my poor memory. I finally started using Anki last September after reading Augmenting Long-term Memory [1]. I started off with just putting in a new vocabulary word every day and have been gradually ramping up the amount of info that I put into it. Now, I will add anything from programming details (e.g. how do you…

Do you use multiple decks? I found myself creating several, and then finding it hard to follow up on many of them. It’s a pity though, because some of the cards in them were interesting, but the whole deck wasn’t. Maybe I should have a “misc” one.
But if you have cards that you don't find interesting or useful anymore, maybe it'd be better to just delete them.

I basically wrote a CLI tool to auto-generate an Anki deck from a Meetup.com event URL, using the publicized names and profile pictures :) https://github.com/CivicTechTO/anki-meetup-memorizer
We have a script that runs weekly via CircleCI, before the event, and drops the file into a GDrive folder for me to easily load up on the way to the Meetup: https://github.com/CivicTechTO/civictechto-scripts/blob/b1cb...

very interesting, i would also like to know how you organise your decks/tags
I do tag my cards. For example, if a card is "In HTML, what header should you use to make a website responsive?", I would tag it with "programming," "webdev," and "html." The organization is there, but I haven't actually found a use case for the tags yet.
I've been doing the "30 hour method" as described here: https://azeria-labs.com/the-importance-of-deep-work-the-30-h... It's sort of like the Pomodoro technique, except with 30-hour chunks instead of 30-minute chunks. (Obviously they serve different purposes.) After studying a topic, while it is still fresh in my mind, I will make a few entries into my spaced repetition system (org-mode) and then I only review the en…
Also means that you can export it all to a well structured PDF and use on any device that can read PDFs.
Downside is one cannot do drills unless at the PC.
If anyone's interested, I've compiled a lot of strategies and tips around spaced repetition and Anki that I've learned over five years and ~11k cards. https://senrigan.io/blog/everything-i-know-strategies-tips-a...
Neat! I have a similar page I put up at 10k cards. We should be friends http://rs.io/anki-tips/
Thought rs.io is/was really well done, great curated stuff. Added a reference link to your pages.
Hit me up at jeffshek@gmail.com anytime! I sheepishly already follow you on Twitter lol.
I'm absolutely in love with spaced repetition. Last year I ran an experiment where I would do Duolingo but ONLY in my spare time. 5-30 minutes per day but only when I'm waiting in line, having a cup of coffee , or driving my car on the highway (just joking about that last one). After about a year I realized that I had a passable understanding of German. Mind you I did this in my SPARE time... so it was basically like…
I see you promoting your app/site constantly. I don't understand why this isn't against the rules on hn.

+1 for using org-mode and org-drill. Also means that you can export it all to a well structured PDF and use on any device that can read PDFs. Downside is one cannot do drills unless at the PC.
