kraemder,
Thank you for taking the time to share.
True, my SRS doesn't have a short-interval build up like that. I might consider adding something like at... I'll think about it.
bounceit,
My minimum interval is 8 hours and the default initial interval is 1 day. So there's a big jump there vs Anki. But what I do differently is I have a "new card" mode where you get familiar with cards in small groups. When you get a card correct 3 times in a row, the app sets it to active and will test it again in 20 hours. The risk is that if you have only 10 cards in your new card set and your very-short term memory is good, you might get it correct 3 times in a row, but not know it well enough to remember after 20 hours. When I study, I usual create a new card set of about 30 cards and don't move a card to active until I feel I can probably remember it in 20 hours.
P.S. A card's stats are reset when the card moves from new to active. The new card mode might be ugly because I like answering wrong a lot, so I like starting from a clean slate when the card becomes active.
