ahoskins··on Show HN: Premortem – AI agents that red-team your startup idea
Fair point, the polarity is easy to misread. The score is how viable the idea looks after the red team (higher is better), not a "do not build" score. I will make that clearer in the UI.
ahoskins··on Show HN: Savvy – Create, Share and Run Runbooks from your Terminal
I run a small startup and I've been using Savvy for a few months to help our team with repetitive commands around deploying and testing. Very happy early user and excited for what's ahead here!

Over the past few years, I've worked on making the easiest spaced-repetition system. This is perfect for people studying memory intensive topics like med students or gmat prep. But anyone looking to retain information better can benefit from this.

Spaced-repetition is an effective memory technique focusing on review at dynamic intervals over time. The review interval becomes shorter or longer based on the amount of times remembered correctly. By using Supermind, you'll get access to the easiest and most seamless way to use spaced-repetition learning. It's a technique proven to work with decades of research.

This is a boostrapped business built on the side by a 1 person team.

The collaborative idea is something I'm thinking about. I want it to eventually balance on "easy sharing / collab on sets of cards" with "still able to be personal", since learning is fundamentally a personal experience. I'm happy to talk about this more or setup some time to talk: please email at arh.hoskins@gmail.com

Yes! Supporting different types of media types is something I agree would be great. Out of curiosity, what types of pictures would you like to upload as an answer?

You'll need to refresh any tabs that were open prior to installing the Chrome Extension. If you refresh it, or open a new tab, does it work?

It's not the same. I believe Anki is based on SuperMemo 2 (SM-2). I choose to not use this same approach, however may change in the future.

I do agree is Anki is GREAT and has proven to work for those who make the effort to learn the UX, and make the continuous effort to use it. But my goal with Supermind is to bring this to more people who would find Anki / SuperMemo too difficult / too high-friction (which is a lot of people afaik). I'm trying to integrate this system into a browser as cleanly as possible.

Yes! Definitely on my roadmap. I hate to limit to just Chrome right now, but as 1-person team currently, limited by time and prioritizing!

Please do email me at arh.hoskins@gmail.com with what the problem is (screenshot would be great). Thanks! I would like to look into what is not working.
