I wonder how it compares with the current SuperMemo.

I experimented with SuperMemo around 18 months ago, and it made me fall in love with SRS again. The main reason being the algorithm is less punishing when I skip a day. Maybe it has better defaults?

I once skipped a whole week and could get back on track in the next week, in Anki that feels unbearable.

Another thing I really liked about it is that you can edit a card as you are studying without having to open a separate window, helps me stay in the flow when studying.

But… With a better algorithm I might give it a try in the future… Being FOSS is the real advantage here.

I really wish there was a FOSS equivalent to SuperMemo. Spaced Repetition is cool and all, but Incremental Reading that uses principles similar to SRS to augment learning novel content and then retain pieces of it through more standard spaced repetition is really next level.
