Forgotten questions keep reappearing #256

Open njsteiger opened 2 years ago

njsteiger commented 2 years ago

When reading through a text and answering Orbit questions for the first time, if you get a question wrong it keeps reappearing over and over again as you answer questions in all the other Orbit prompt areas on the same page.

I think there should be a functionality to redo the question one additional time (maybe two times?) as you read the same page, but having it appear many times over again appears to be a bug.

I've seen this issue on Andy's "How to write good prompts" page (https://andymatuschak.org/prompts/) and also on a page of my own (https://njsteiger.github.io/gws/co2-history.html).

Tested on a Desktop, MacOS Monterey, Safari v15.2.

Uh oh, this must be a regression—as you describe, the intended behavior is that you redo a forgotten question until you remember it. If it's reappearing even after you remember, that's a bug!
