As you can see, I was adding 20-80 cards every day for twenty days, about a chapter a day, and when I finished the book, the last ten days were just spent reviewing cards. You can see at the end that according to my own target of 4 or better, I had learned well over 500 new German words by the end of the month. And I knew these words outside the context of these drills, recognized many of them in other settings, and even managed to use a few in everyday conversation.

I had to record that data every day in Excel and make it myself. You can get “snapshot” charts in the app, but not time-oriented ones, which are a better motivator.

The current statistics plugin can show you cards added per day, and it
can show you grade breakdown over the entire deck, but it can't show
you anything similar to that PNG with the growth of your deck and the
growth of 4/5 cards over time.

This is something I would really like as well. Back in Mnemosyne 1 I wrote a script that would go through an exported file and show the number of learned cards for each category, so if I ran it once a day I could see my progress. It would be really motivating to see the number of "deeply learned" cards go up steadily over time, even as I forget 10% of them each day I review.

Feel free to add this to our feature request forum at uservoice, so
that I don't forget about it and that other people can vote for it too.

Could be quite expensive to generate these statistics, though, as they
are not readily available but need to be derived from the entire
history.
