| Hi HN friends,
|
| iDoRecall cofounder and 67 y/o entrepreneur here. Today's version
| of iDR is a total rewrite of our MVP. iDR began as a digital
| solution enabling the cognitive science strategies that I used to
| graduate #1 in my med school class back in the analog 70s [1].
| iDR takes spaced-repetition flashcards beyond the bounds of well-
| known solutions. Barbara Oakley, Ph.D., creator of Coursera's
| Learning How to Learn [2], uses iDR for her own lifelong
| learning. Recently she became our Chief Learning Science advisor.
|
| Upload your learning content into iDR: PDFs, Word files,
| PowerPoints, images and many other file types. Add videos hosted
| on YouTube, Vimeo and other sites to your iDR library. Read,
| watch and listen to your content on iDR.
|
| Create flashcards (we call them "recalls") that are linked
| directly to the concepts, facts, formulae or whatever you want to
| remember in your learning materials.
|
| When you practice memory retrieval with your recalls, if you
| struggle with the answer, you're one click away from seeing the
| exact spot in your content where you created the recall so that
| you can quickly refresh your memory in the original context where
| you learned it. Stop wasting time rereading. Read once. Watch
| once. Listen once. Abstract and curate what you want to remember
| into recalls and use spaced-repetition memory retrieval to
| remember everything you learn. Rereading, highlighting and
| rereading highlight have been proven suboptimal tactics for
| remembering what you've learned [3].
|
| Metacognition training wheels, Pomodoro timer and project
| management tools for learners included. Create study groups with
| classmates and collaborate sharing recalls and content. Teachers
| can create classes in the app.
|
| We have reference docs on our self-hosted Notion [4] and helpful
| videos on our YouTube channel [5]. I write about learning on
| Medium and Better Humans [6]. Please let me know if there is any
| way that I can be helpful to you.

| Hey David, looks really impressive. And so nice to see some
| older enterpreneurs out there!
|
| Strange that there's just another spaced repetition show HN
| just next to this one. What are the odds?
|
| I'm a co-founder of Kenhub[0] and we use some spaced repetition
| techniques in our quizzes. But it's quite different still. The
| bigger difference for us is that we create and curate the
| content. I'm wondering if there's some opportunity for
| collaboration. See contact details in my profile if you'd like
| to chat some time.

| Holy webdesign jesus, this one has cookie popups, chat popups,
| auto-changing black text on dark background, slow animations that
| get triggered by scrolling.
|
| All I want is really Anki with manual intervals. Life would be so
| good :|
| Kelamir wrote:
| You could try using steps(new cards part) for setting up your
| own intervals. I don't know how much it is fit for your
| purposes though. What do you not like about Anki's current
| scheduling, s9w?

| Nifty. As an Anki user, I see this as a feature I really wish
| Anki had. This is an area where I am more than willing to spend
| money for an excellent product (which Anki strangely fails to
| capitalize on). Good luck, I hope this grows.
|
| Obligatory HN cynacism: I don't think I'll end up using it due to
| the massive investment I've already made in Anki + switching
| friction. Plus, it's not open source, so if the service ever went
| away I would be crushed (which is really important to me since
| some of my cards have 10y+ intervals).

| Thanks James, You can export Anki Flashcards and import them
| into iDR as recalls. The catch for now is that only .txt format
| exports work for the time being. Also, in a few weeks we'll
| offer self-serve export of all of your recalls in a CSV file
| which then be uploaded into Anki or Quizlet.
