What algorithm do you use for spaced repetition?
1 comments

I have a fairly simple implementation of the SM-2 algorithm, and just making the assumption that if you answered the question correctly then you have “perfect recall”. This isn’t exactly correct but I have been using it myself and seems to still be pretty nice.

But for the next version I want to use something called knowledge tracing to determine an estimated level of recall to then change the spacing

I recommend the new algorithm of Anki: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki
