Hey guys! Spaced repetition is great for memorizing many different things. But I'm not satisfied with existing apps. There are no courses using spaced repetition. And making flashcards myself is quite hard. We've thought how an ideal solution should look like. We believe that placing test questions for repetition inside a course or study notes is the only way for ordinary people to use spaced repetition. That's why we've created https://learnitfast.io, the app described in the linked article. We would greatly appreciate if you try it and tell us what you think about the idea.

I think the problem with spaced repetitions for most people is the difficulty of creating questions for every little bit you want to remember yourself. It would be nice to use card stacks created by others. But if you try to use someone else's cards you just lack the context.

On the other hand, articles and courses you can find online are perfect for learning something for the first time. But they don't have repetitions.

A better implementation would be online courses and articles with question cards placed right into them. That way you can learn from scratch and also have the benefits of spaced repetitions.

And the same applies to study notes. It's probably better to make study notes and question cards in the same place.

OK, here's a shameless plug - we've made it at https://learnitfast.io If you're interested you can try it out. And we would be very thankful if you give us any feedback.
