spaced repetition writing #111

Open Prague2049 opened 1 year ago

Can org-fc support space repeat writing? In spaced repetition writing, the review interval of a writing thread is calculated based on how interesting it is and how fruitful it is to write about it. Provides a spaced-repetition system that prompts you to review notes or revisit stubs and help them grow to maturity.

org-fc is currently limited to one repetition spacing algorithm where review intervals grow exponentially. This is suitable for memorizing facts but probably not desirable for this kind of writing. It also only supports reviewing org-mode headings, not whole files, restricting what kinds of notes can be reviewed.

Spaced repetition writing (and reading) are interesting applications but I think for now, it's easier to implement those with a simpler kind of spaced repetition system, for example using the SCHEDULED keyword as described in https://ag91.github.io/blog/2020/09/04/the-poor-org-user-spaced-repetition/
