Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

FSRS: A modern, efficient spaced repetition algorithm
I wonder if there is plan for this to land in Mnemosyne[1]. I prefer Mnemosyne over Anki because I can self-host the web-sync server.

How do you retain information when self learning?
I have tried using spaced repetition with Mnemosyne for math, specifically for learning Category Theory. It did help. Spaced repetition seems to work better for me if the answers to the questions are short (like learning Spanish vocabulary). When doing math, you often want to remember an entire definition, which might be too long to use spaced repetition flash cards effectively.

Knot very smart
I've had good luck with spaced repetition using mnemosyne for lots of other stuff but haven't tried it for knots yet

Hi, next week I have my first day as a software dev, and I'm kinda nervous.
Also, take the time to learn everyone's name and face. I use a flash card program like Mnemosyne to copy people's photos from the corporate directory. Learn them all the first week or even in the first couple of days.

McMillan or PDG Promote?
https://mnemosyne-proj.org/ use this, make every relevant term a flash card and event a flash card. It takes forever to populate, but you learn on entry in addition to “study”.

Best ways to study for initial CFI oral.
Anki is a spaced-repetition system based on Mnemosyne for studying flashcards in such a way that optimally loads facts into and maintains them in long-term memory. During daily study sessions, Anki shows flash cards, and you self-rate your ability to recall each correct answer. You review easier cards on a maintenance schedule, and Anki schedules the ones you have trouble with more frequently.

Excited about Anki's Future Direction
Some time ago I saw several posts about a machine learning based scheduler for Anki. There is another project known as mnemosyne that conducts research into long term learning. Do you want similar changes to Anki's scheduler?

Ask HN: Show your failed projects and share a lesson you learned
I tried to build StackOverflow for flashcards (i.e. spaced repetition with collaboration as a first class feature.) After working on it on nights/weekends for ~2 years, I realized my architecture was shit. I started out with Blazor + F# + PostGres, but eventually I realized that syncing offline client DBs to the cloud was a very nontrivial problem. So I moved to event sourcing. Turns out that's not much better - I started to write my own IndexedDB wrapper, then said "you're a moron" and switched to CouchDb/PouchDb/RxDB. I also wanted to support plugins. I thought I figured that out with Blazor, but eventually I realized that more powerful plugins would want to manipulate the DOM directly. Blazor's virtual DOM kills that possibility. So, I'm off the dotnet ecosystem (I can't express how very, very sad I am to leave F#) and onto Typescript + SolidJS. I would've gone ReScript but that's tightly coupled to React which uses the VDom. Perhaps I should be using Svelte - I'm not solid on any of this new architecture yet. So my project has not yet entirely failed... I just realized I spent ~2 years on the wrong architecture.

Would anyone be interested in a social anki?
FWIW I'm building something from the ground up that'll have this sharing/social thang built in. I also (obviously) think that there's a need for collaborative tools for building and sharing cards, along with perhaps ways to publish your progress. For various reasons I'm not building it on Anki though.

If you had investors willing to write you a blank check to build the best spaced repetition program possible, how would you go about it? Asking for a friend based on a discussion we’ve been having.
I'm building the above thing here: https://github.com/dharmaturtle/cardoverflow

SAAS strategies for offline mode
Not only considered - I'm actively using it. You'll find people complaining about IndexedDB's API all over the internet. They're right - it's remarkably terrible. I'm using Dexie.JS as a wrapper over it.

Confessions of a 0.8x Developer
My dude, speaking as someone who gets really happy when they find a functor in their code, I fully disagree with your last paragraph. You can do FP without knowing anything about the theory. Telling someone that they should read up on a dry, boring academic topic in order to be a better programmer is kinda a nonstarter. When you start throwing around stuff like "You should learn category theory and homotopy theory to really understand FP" only drives people away - it doesn't inspire curiosity (in most people).

Successful SaaS owner looking to take on other projects.
I'm working on an edtech thing - think StackOverflow/Wikipedia for flashcards. Basically, there's a way to remember an exponential amount of information - it just isn't popular because the existing software is terrible. Despite the terrible software, it is very popular among med students, since they have to cram so much info into their heads.

Show HN: Anki alternative with integrated notes and import/export
> I also hate that the anki shared decks web site does not encourage collaboration...
Dude, I'm building exactly this. I'm not basing it on git for various reasons, but I am using event sourcing, and git is basically event sourcing for code. My system will (eventually) allow pull requests, comments, upvotes/downvotes, and all kinds of community shenanigans on flash cards. It's months away from release... but here's the repo if you wanna have a look: https://github.com/dharmaturtle/cardoverflow
