Future of SuperMemo
Ideas for the future
Some ideas to be discussed as proposed by Wrath0flog1c:
- Discord Meeting: future of SuperMemo. Direct interaction will boost the community’s involvement and pave the way for future collaborative efforts
- Redesign Contest: Can boost innovation, no extra cost. we propose launching a contest inviting users to propose new designs for SuperMemo. This will not only stimulate creative solutions but also foster a sense of collective ownership among the users. The designs could then be voted on and potentially incorporated into the future updates
- Short-term Improvements: Focus on actionable feedback from users of SuperMemo
- Forming a Beta Testing Team: Once we have potential new features or designs from the contest, a team of dedicated users could serve as beta testers. Their feedback would help refine these features before a wider release, improving the quality of updates
- Community Development: Leverage skilled SuperMemo users for development. To harness the technical skills within our community, we suggest initiating a survey to identify those interested in contributing directly to SuperMemo’s development
- AI Integration: Start brainstorming, keep as long-term vision. We propose a small-scale project for AI integration, such as developing an AI-based suggestion system for optimizing repetition intervals. Success in this endeavor could pave the way for further AI integration in SuperMemo
- School Strike Concept: Can gain traction through Gen Z/Alpha's social media habits; make it go viral by getting help members of this generation. We know wassup. But balance is critical. SuperMemo can inspire alternative learning paths for these generations
