From experience, my rep load in SuperMemo was half of what it'd have been in Anki for Japanese. over time, gap would've exploded. Being the only people with 30 years of good data makes a pretty big difference

But is your retention the same? These algorithms can be tuned, and obviously the amount of repetition to retain 95% of info is higher than retaining 90%.

Parent post was talking about algorithms. I linked to the site containing articles and research written by the person who created the algorithms.

It’s completely separate from supermemo the app.

If you’re looking at SRS algorithms, it’s worth looking through, for no other reason than to see what the flaws of the SM2 algorithm (used by Anki) are.

I’ve been using SuperMemo for almost 17 years every single day, started using it before Anki even came out. Too invested in my SuperMemo flashcard collection to jumó ship. I am 100% satisfied with SuperMemo 18’s algorithm, I’ve upgraded every single version since this is kind of my thing now. I’m a guy that does flashcards every day and can almost perfectly memorize everything I put in it.
