Too bad Piotr Wozniak (inventor of SuperMemo) is such a hermit and uncompromising of his lifestyle choices, that most of his life's work was eventually superseded by open-source solutions (Anki + FSRS).

I had tons of material in SuperMemo for years. Gave up and fully switched to Anki.

At least I'm thankful for his spaced-repetition algorithms. Also, his articles restored my love for learning and helped me confirm that school was an insane waste of time and resources.

But the whole Anki community is surrounded by his idea! Thanks for his effort; he makes learning possible for an uncountable number of people.
