I don't know. The Super Memo algorithm (at least the basic version) is really easy to implement. Then you could use it to rate how much each question need to be reviewed and have a little marker that slowly fades from green to red or something.

True, that part wouldn't be so hard, but designing the whole platform, and studying experience design and such would be more challenging.

Aren't you supposed to be study cross-references?!
Actually, yeah. I just popped on MV and saw people on here :P I just might not be very responsive.

I get it. You just didn't want to talk to me (just kidding).

How was dinner? ;)
Well, it was food so all is well here. ;)

You're so uncommunicative. xP Jkjk

Hehe actually not true! But you have other people to talk to on here so I don't feel bad if I don't respond right away! lol

Yummy. xD We had cabbage and sausage. Also yummy. xD

Hey, tell Annija hi and that she needs to get on email or memverse or facebook or something! I missed her on FB when she was on by like an hour. :P

I guess so. I was working on designing a website for studying. I finished all the functions to interact with the data. Then I thought the rest would be easy, but it is not. Designing the interface is just as challenging. Now I know why they have front end and back end web developers!

Hehe, I doubt I will ever like sausage again… xP xP

Lol, okay, but I don't think she'll listen to me… xD

Exactly! Programming the behind the scenes code was always (generally speaking) easy for me, it was the web design and interface that took me a long time to learn. And then again I don't really have time for coding during Bible Bee season.

What, why not? I thought you were the person who preferred sausage to bacon?
Hm, well tell her I forced you to tell her. :P :P

May I suggest that you two collaborate to get the job done faster? :)

Yeah, I guess you don't feel as guilty when you know that we're all wasting our time as well.

We both are extremely busy with BB studying, lol! And besides, who wants to duplicate what already exists?

What?! Where on Earth did you hear that? xP No, remember that month-long road trip we took? It turns out they have the same pre cooked sausage everywhere, so we ate it… a lot… xP I have not liked sausage since. The taste of it kinda makes me feel sick, lol. xP

If everybody thought like that, we wouldn't have Facebook! It's not about making something new. It's about making something better. But, yeah, that might not work out too well during the Bible Bee season.

You told me that back in 2013 that you liked sausage better! Glad to see you've joined the -dark- light side and now prefer bacon. xD

True that, but then again social media is where people make money. Unless you're planning on advertising heavily or charging membership fees you aren't really going to make anything, and then it's best to collaborate with the well established system to make it even better than it is.

Well, I am being semi-productive - I'm making a Quizlet set to help me remember CR references better ;)

I'm doing my cough DJ set in test mode right now. B^)

It's not all about money! Besides, it's no fun to collaborate with the well established system. That's like using JQuery. It makes the program only partially yours.

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Hm, not really. That was something I had to learn when I first started web developing. I wanted to do what everyone else was doing and do it better. Then I realized the only thing that was worth anything was being unique. With all the study sites that are on here, Quizlet no doubt being the best of them all, it's not really worthwhile to make yet another one.

C6a152228207f095fcf5c002f1841372?s=128&d=mm

Joshua S

But I don't like using Quizlet. There are five reasons why I would like to design a new website: 1) It's fun 2) It's a learning experience 3) I have no imagination 4) For all of the above reasons 5) Because of reason number 4

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Which is why there are already so many other study websites out there. :) I agree with 1 and 2, no comment on 3, 4 or 5. But if we want to do something fun to learn, why not make it something unique, something that people would use? Back in 2013 when I first had my website I was just trying to duplicate things like I said earlier, and people weren't enjoying it. I think my first year I barely got 400 hits. In 2014 I began my blog and For The Bee. Unique things. My blog unique in that it was my personal Bible studies, and For The Bee in that it not only provides learning tools like Quizlet, but also is an index of many other study resources as well. To complete the statistical proof, my website received over 10,000 hits last year and it looks like this year will be at least as high if not higher.

C6a152228207f095fcf5c002f1841372?s=128&d=mm

Joshua S

I'm not planning to make my website exactly like Quizlet. For one thing, I would like to make it easier to share study notes. The Google Docs are hard to find and hard to organize. Additionally, I would like to make it easier to collaborate on creating tests. Classmarker is not the most convenient for creating informal tests. I would also like to be able to use the Super Memo algorithm in a less formal, structured way. Finally, I would like another option for reviewing verses. I don't like Memverse and Scripture Typer. Typing out the verses takes so much longer than simply quoting them.

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

I agree, and it would be great if someday we could team with Bible Bee and make an official studying page with things like you suggested!

You're welcome. :)

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Lol I get what you're saying :P hopefully it'll be better by then. I was thinking in light of how Scripture Typer is affiliated with Bible Bee, but not controlled by them. Something in that respect but with all the advantages and more of the various websites used for studying now. And it would be actively promoted by Bible Bee like my website was last year.
