New Features - At Last!

Posted in Announcement by Kyle McLuckie on the November 9th, 2007

The feature rollout that was to occur a few days ago didn’t actually happen. There were some issues with it, so we reverted to the previous Rememberize that you’re all familiar with. With a bit more time on my hands today though, I beat out the problems, and there are some shiny new features you can now enjoy.

Set Reviews
This has been an oft demanded feature. Sure, the Leitner schedule Rememberize employs is great for optimising the learning process. But what if you want to just immerse yourself in a set, relearning the cards continually. Now, that is possible with the new ‘review’ set command. You will be presented with a page very similar to the learn page, but the review acts completely outside of the Rememberize scheduling system.

Card Styling
Very simple card styling is now available using a subset of Textile markup. A handy formatting toolbar makes this simple.

GIANT Set Capabilities
There have been a few recent sets created with quite a large number of cards present (almost 4000 cards in one instance). These gave quite some trouble to some subscribed users who reported that Rememberize was having, well, minor conniptions. Some extensive modifications have been made to the Rememberize architecture to cope with sets of this size.

If you are still having any performance issues with these large sets please let me know.

The Small Things
There have been some other minor tweaks that will hopefully make life more enjoyable. For instance, the search page now gives a card count for each set so that you don’t waste time examining empty sets.

Quite a bit of work has gone in to these enhancements, and they really do make for a better Rememberize. Enjoy!
