• Show HN: Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source

• How do you memorize things you read?

  Don't think Anki has a fully baked implementation of incremental reading. Polar [0] is an interesting implementation of a similar concept: read and annotate and turn your highlights into Anki flashcards automatically. [0]: https://getpolarized.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
