Think you are reviewing all your cards? Think again (not anymore coz the issues are fixed)

RemNote
#1

I don’t know how many of you think that the scheduling algorithm is flawless and you are actually reviewing all your cards that you are supposed to review. In my case, I often get into this situation where, while just skimming through my notes, I notice some rems look really unfamiliar. Then I check the metadata of that rem just to realize that, even though the practice is enabled for that card, the card stopped showing up in the queue a long time ago. This card/rem will remain idle until I manually make some change to the card (so that the last modified time of the rem changes). I can find such lapsed cards in all my documents.

This is so demotivating because you put lots of effort into making cards, but you end up internalizing an incomplete version of the subject because you were not reviewing some of the crucial rems. Above all it is just disappointing to realize that you haven’t been reviewing some cards you think you were. I have been seeing this issue ever since I started using Remnote (from the very beginning of July)

Metadata showing more than 2 cards for a rem
Seriously considering another Tool!

Sometimes a card also gets mad ease (a few years’ worth) when reviewed a few times. Anyway, this seems like something to be discussed in the github issues rather than here.

Ease is definitely not the case here. I don’t think there is any direct correlation between the number of reviews and this issue. This happens with cards I created 2 days ago and all the way up to cards that are months old. With some cards the whole review history gets deleted. There are bunch of github issues on this. I should mention all that in the OP

My point was bugs are to be reported on github, not here. Yours and too much ease are known ones.

Found this problem too.

You check your all cards and activate missing cards manually at https://www.remnote.io/cards
Hope the team will fix this serious problem soon.

I see your point but this is not a bug report. We have more than enough bugs reported on this (excluding reports prior to the inception of github report tracking and discord discussions). There are some threads in this forum as well (like @soul linked above) on this topic. This is a known issue for months and the team is well aware of this as well.

The purpose is to bring this to everyone’s awareness and see if there are any comments. Especially for students who are preparing for exams, it is pretty bad to realize that the card got disabled after reading the question paper on the day of exam. Is this not a big deal for everyone? or is it because people are not aware of this because they don’t cross check if cards are getting reviewed (I don’t think new users would be doing that). Has anyone found a better way to workaround this other than manually editing cards or enabling it in /cards? or is that the reason why some are exporting cards to Anki. When the main selling point of Remnote is built-in SRS, having something like this in the scheduler is not a good thing, at least IMO

The team deployed a brand new backend recently in order to address the performance issues that has been going on for a while. This issue is at first position in GitHub in terms of both number of comments and likes. I also hope this gets fixed soon

Well, the only people who can fix this are aware of the issue, and the people using RemNote, are, sadly, aware that it is quite buggy. Checking the cards manually every once in a while really is the only solution at the moment. I assume Anki export would be quite useless if you are actively using the outliner.

I have submitted the bug report on GitHub and on Discord.




To answer your question is this not a big deal? It’s.

Your bug report is at the top of the list. Thanks for filing it. I assume this would be a big deal for anyone who is relying on built-in SRS.

This is a massive pain atm. If you have to check the cards manually, it kinda cancels out the benefits of having them in remnote in the first place.
