Scheduling reviews of tiddles with a button press?

[Ben H.]

I would love to create a spaced repetition system similar to Anki or Supermemo. Most of what I need to do I think I have found examples I can go off of to make a basic but functional system. But I can't figure out do a way to press a button that would calculate when a card should be reviewed and update the appropriate tiddle field with that information. I would have several such buttons on a tiddle corresponding to whether I answered correctly, and how difficult the question was, and each button would calculate a new review date by plugging in the appropriate parameters into a simple formula.

Thanks in advance for the help!!! This software is awesome:)

These macros may help. Eventually I will get around to adding more. http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#Date%20Macro%20Demos

Hey all,

just came across this and wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone is interested and/or available and/or would find this usable. 

Best,

Diego

Diego,

If you follow Jed's Link there is code that would help achieve this. But I do not actually know what a "spaced repetition system similar to Anki or Supermemo" is.

I am working on a project that needs to permit a button to increment a date field N days, and plan to build in a periodical reoccurring item.

So I may be working on relevant solutions, but do not have a prepared answer.

Ah a Flash card system,

I have a conceptual algorithm, not yet coded in TW for learning reinforcement, that would be similar, but its not on my current timeline.

I know this is not what you are looking for now, but around the time flash cards were discussed (2015), Wim Mearmans created this http://tw5flashcards.tiddlyspot.com/. Try it! It is fun.

Anki is free, works everywhere. Why re-invent the wheel? What is the net gain?

Thanks Tony and Birthe! 

And Mark - you make a good point - for me a couple reasons - 

1. Minimize the number of things I depend on/open/use.
2. Learning JS and TW
3. If TW is a central repository of all knowledge already organized around small bits of information called tiddlers, we either:
   
• Export tiddlers to anki format, in which case anki is the "scheduler" and TW is the "knowledge repo", meaning if I wanted to edit any info or make new ones I'd have to go back to TW and re-export
• "Import" a scheduler into TW - meaning it acts as the central repo for the entire process

There also already examples of this type of thing - see the various kanban/trello, excel, etc. plugins people are working on

Also you're restricted by the type of cards you can have in anki, while in TW you can pretty much make a tiddler look and behave almost anyway you want.
