Thank you for bringing up SuperMemo - I remember reading through Piotr's article on Genius [0] and thought it was a wonderful piece on the balance of creativity and memorization.

I've looked through SuperMemo's features and while I completely subscribe to the idea of spaced repetition (I have used Anki for some periods) I was put off by the user interface; perhaps I should try it again.

> There's a general issue that you find the thing you see soonest most shiny and thus a strong likelihood of overprioritizing new material but SuperMemo helps intersperse everything to prevent that.

I really the idea of this approach to keep everything at its proper priority level. Thanks for linking the brain as well - I haven't come across it.

I am vaguely familiar with Xandu as well but it warrants another deep dive for sure.
