Triggered.

I spent so much time and effort comparing the various spaced repetition software before finally, grudgingly, choosing Anki over Mochi.

My rationale was that, while Mochi's UX is amazing, the algorithm matters. SuperMemo seems to justify this - SM18+ is a highly refined algorithm and 'seems' to provide much, much better performance than SM2/Anki.

So Mochi's incredibly basic 'engine' seems, by this logic, to be a pretty significant downside.

In the end what I care most about is memorization, and it seems like the best 'engine' for that is (Supermemo if you're on Windows, otherwise...) Anki + FSRS.

I'd appreciate being convinced I'm wrong - Using Mochi was a vastly more pleasant experience than using Anki.

Fellow ADHDr here, also living the many tabs life.

I highly recommend the Sidebery addon (Firefox). Not just tree style tabs, but tree style tabs with customizable panels so you can sort everything out quite tidily. I'm able to manage hundreds of tabs without mess, and prune through them on a weekly basis seeing what needs to be bookmarked or can be safely forgotten.

Okay, fine, I'll assume you're a decent person who's heart is in the right place.

The vast majority of homeless people suffer from mental illness, and have come from broken homes - experienced severe childhood trauma.

These are people who, mostly, never had a chance. This is the key point. They were dealt a truly garbage hand in life, and no amount of 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' is going to change that.

They need care, they need education, they need homes. They need people to invest years of work into their rehabilitation.

And, in pretty much any developed country, providing that is roughly equivalent in cost to what we currently spend punishing them.

The state is paying the cost of homelessness, but it is doing so in a fashion that both fails to solve the problem and makes the quality of life for these people even worse.

Cool software. I have ADHD and it definitely made reading more comfortable (only 21% faster, but I read a LOT so that's not too surprising.)

Hope it succeeds enough with commercial partners (especially ereaders!) that you can offer the browser extension for free on Chrome someday.
