Description

A very simple plugin I made to help with any study requiring rote memorisation. Treat any number of web pages like flashcards in the Leitner System (Google it). I mainly use it with Wikipedia pages.

When a page is added, it's associated with a number of 'tickets', 10 by default. Then click the 'next' button to go to a randomly-generated page. The probability of it being any given page is proportional to the number of tickets that page has been allocated.

For instance, if Page A has 10 tickets and Page B has 20 tickets, B will be generated with twice the frequency of A. It's all relative - a ratio of 10:20 is equivalent to 1:2, is equivalent to 40:80.

I'll try and explain the basic idea behind the Leitner System now. As you're studying, if you end up at a page with content you feel you already know, then DECREASE the number of tickets it has (or delete it altogether). If you get one where you've forgotten some or all of the content, then INCREASE the number of tickets it has. Then, on average, you should end up reviewing less-familiar stuff more often. Clear as mud? Good then.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
