Anki SRS Algorithm : Spaced repetition explained with code

Shameless plug: I developed a space repetition algorithm which has a different goal. Mine is focused on learning a large number of new things fast, rather than adding new things over time and retaining memory of them.

I don't quite understand how that is different? Is the idea that you have nebulous knowledge of more things instead of locked in knowledge of fewer things?

What's your use case for this? Would it be good for learning say the top 5000 words in a new language or something like that?

I think the idea is that this would be more optimized for school settings where what you actually want is an algorithm for cramming.

It could make sense to cram for an exam for instance

Awesome. I just read through the code & Blog Post and the changes make so much sense as well as the code is super easy to read and understand.

Would be awesome to read part-2 of this blog post -> http://www.blueraja.com/blog/477/a-better-spaced-repetition-...

Plz plz plz pen down your thoughts on reviewing(part-2 of the post) if you get some free time.
