Knowledge base

Knowledge base and spaced repetition app inspired by Incremental reading technique from SuperMemo

Work in progress

How it works

1. Read an article (or book) you want to learn
2. Extract useful information into a knowledge base article which is like a wiki article
3. Split your article into lots of "fill the blank" cards using special markup, each card containing small piece of information to learn
4. Slowly memorize cards over time with a help of a spaced repetition algorithm
5. Organize knowledge in a searchable, interconnected personal database

Some of the planned features

• HTML as storage format
• Markdown based markup language to simplify card extraction
• Storage of previous revisions of everything, never delete information
• Review cards on mobile device offline
• Store diagrams, formulas and images
