I'm a full-time professional software developer, and I started this a couple years ago as a simple/fast/easy way to make flashcards for studying foreign languages.
Later enhancements focused on creating a teacher account role, which allows teachers to assign stacks of flashcards to students and watch the progress of their class in real time.
The app has been live for about a year, and successes with it include a law student passing the bar exam after using it for their exam prep.
Looks good. I'm pretty sure there are some rather advanced mobile apps that also include algorithms to help with reminding you based on if you succeeded remembering last time & how long it has been since you saw a certain card.
Does anyone have a favorite app for this? (I don't mean to steal the stage... I'm just quite interested in knowing what others use)
Thanks for checking it out! A spaced repetition app that I've used is Memrise (I used the web app), and I found it to be pretty effective. They gamify the experience by having 'plants' that you have you to water every so often.
The app I wrote keeps things pretty simple, and is designed to re-create the physical stack of flashcards (which is a proven technology I think).
But spaced repetition is definitely a good approach too, and apparently it's backed by findings in neuroscience.
