I will be compiling a public list about of the questions I would love to ask to [[{{The Flashcard Guy]].
Personal use of SuperMemo
- How do you get to know SRS? and SuperMemo

- Have you used SuperMemo for school stuff, or just for free learning?
- Any regrets from decisions you have taken in the past which its effects in your collection were only long-term?
- Any regrets from decisions you have taken in the past which its effects in your learning were only long-term?
15 old streak
- You state you always finish all the outstanding queue. Then I may guess is, in part, because you have import little volume of information? Consistent but low.
- Did you use postpone or mercy at all? Or do you do all repetitions strictly when they are scheduled?
- Will you mind sharing your stats? Basically to get a feeling of the long term use.
SuperMemo
- Across the 15 years of continuous use, did you tried to introduce people to SuperMemo/Incremental Reading?
- If positive, any success on retaining them as users?
- Did you tried other SRS apps after some years after being introduced to SuperMemo? For instance Anki in 2006-08?
Speculating a different past
