LeitnerBox

Yay! This is my first extension in raycast. This simple extension use the concept of a learning process called leitner box

What is the leitner system

The Leitner system is a widely used method of efficiently using flashcards that was proposed by the German science journalist Sebastian Leitner in 1972. It is a simple implementation of the principle of spaced repetition, where cards are reviewed at increasing intervals to integrate it into long-term memory.

How to use it.

First of all you have to create some questions and answers about a subject you would like to learn. with the command Create A Question.

Once you create one or multiple questions it will be in a Box.

There are 5 boxes of cards called "Box 1", "Box 2", "Box 3", "Box 4", "Box 5". The cards in Box 1 are the ones that the learner often makes mistakes with, and Box 5 contains the cards that they know very well. They might choose to study the Box 1 cards once a day, Box 2 every 2 days, Box 3 cards every 4 days, Box 4 cards every 8 days, and Box 5 cards every 10 days . If they look at a card in Box 1 and get the correct answer, they "promote" it to Box 2 . A correct answer with a card in Box 2 "promotes" that card to Box 3 until it is learned. If they make a mistake with a card in a Box, it gets "demoted" to the box before it . A bad answer in the Box 3 will result of a "demoted" in the Box2, which forces the learner to study that card more often.

summary of the number of days before you can answer the questions.

• Box1: 1 day
• Box 2: 2 days
• Box 3: 4 days
• Box 4: 8 days
• Box 5: 10 days

How to answer a question .

The goal when answering a question. Is to do it in your own words as if you were explaining it to another person. Even if it differs from the original answer.

You are your own judge it's up to you to see if your answer is close enough to the answer you wrote. Because there is no better judge than yourself.

If you judge that you have answered incorrectly, the goal is to return to this part of your course or subject that you are learning and reread the part corresponding to the question to improve the chance of retention in long-term memory. `
