Spaced repetition

Reviewing each spot just before you would forget it, with longer gaps each time you get it right.

What it means
Spaced repetition schedules practice by memory, not by rote. Spots you know come back rarely; spots you miss come back soon.
How it is calculated
This app uses FSRS. Each spot template is a card. Your grade becomes a rating: Blunder and Wrong are Again, Inaccuracy is Hard, Correct is Good and Best is Easy. FSRS then picks the next due date.
Worked example
Answer a new spot with a Best grade and it is due again in about 8 days, then about 66 days after the next Best. A blunder brings it back within a minute.
Why it matters
It spends your practice time where your leaks are, rather than on spots you already play well.
