Nice! Archivy [0] has some of the same goals with integration of web content, also using Readability. Instead of going the highlight route, each article becomes a note in your knowledge base you can edit / add to.

It's really exciting to open source a project, Lurnby looks cool! What do you use the spaced repetition for?

Woah. Very cool. You seem to make it really easy for people to get started and tick a lot of the boxes around privacy.

Today's been a bit of a nervous day for me actually haha, I didn't really expect this attention. Open sourcing just felt like the right thing to do for this app and because I just don't have all the skills :D

The spaced repetition at the moment is for the highlights. All highlights get marked at an initial level 0 and then move up or down depending on you reviewing them.

Eventually gets to the point where a highlight is shown to you yearly.

In the future I was thinking of doing some spacing around finished books or articles. Things like - you finished reading X 10 days ago, what do you remember?

But don't think I've thought through the details around that enough.
