Do ya'll use spaced-repetition flashcards?

@nat Yes, Anki, but only for silly things. Haven’t really found a satisfying way to use it for more useful memorization.

@alpha What are "silly things?"

And what would you like to use it for, but haven't figured out yet?

@nat I use it mainly for world country/capitol memorization, and I’ve been meaning to get back to my major system mnemonic technique deck eventually.

I’ve thought about using it for more work-related things (particularly vim fold/mark/register commands), but in practice, I find that actual usage is actually a pretty decent proxy for spaced repetition. (For me, at least!)

@nat In theory, my current notetaking software (logseq) supports flashcards as well, but I’m not at that level of usage on it yet.

@alpha Would you help me test a Vim deck if I made one?

I made on for very basic stuff waaaay back in the day and it helped a lot, been thinking about making one that's a bit more comprehensive & sharing it.

@nat I’d definitely take a look at it and provide feedback! Can’t promise I’d be any good at actually using it, given that I’m already pretty rubbish at the decks I currently have!
