This is great. I was wondering whether it's possible to have a more formal way of scheduling studying and marking progress (beyond the checkmark, I mean) -- like the ability to create a prioritized list of concepts, set some dates and track completion. And maybe maintain my own little summary notes and maybe even check others' publicly shared notes?

Great point - the checkmark is a trivial attempt: quizzes would be better, and as you mentioned, a review schedule. And the "notes" idea is fantastic (or maybe even flashcards with an Anki-like review schedule); we discussed it several months ago but it fell off the radar. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!
