I noticed the SRS on Bunpro isn’t anywhere near as polished as Wanikani for example. I’m getting sudden 60+ reviews followed by nothing or very little after. Is there any setting to change the SRS system to follow a more optimised system like wanikani or other polished SRS resources?
I’ll post one example below too
I’ve also noticed this as well. I believe Anki uses a bit of random “fuzzing” to spread out reviews to prevent this: Studying - Anki Manual
Hopefully the FSRS update coming soon should fix this
Privacy pro-tip. Don’t use a highlighter function to conceal sensitive information. (Fortunately all of this info is harmless and you should be proud of your progress)
I like how they do it. If I don’t want new reviews after 9pm, generally I just need to stop doing reviews after 9 pm. Then very few will appear. When they appear I often feel pressured to do them even if I don’t want to.
Wanikani’s system is just (last reviewed time + (new SRS Interval) -1 hour) rounded down. So if you complete it at 8:30PM, it’ll be available at 7:00pm on it’s due date.
I think Bunpro doesn’t round down? Don’t quote me. But it’s a pretty minor difference. Just looks like you normally do your reviews in the morning to me.
Hi there!
There are numerous SRS settings that you can make use of in order to spread out when you are getting reviews. If you set the review timer to start of the hour, then they will come hourly based on when you first created them, and then subsequently when you review them. This means that if you tend to always do your reviews at the same time of day, then they will always come at that hour of the day.
There are also quite a few settings that you can use to adjust the ease or difficulty if you are having any issues with that as well.
We are actually planning on adding even more customization options to the SRS in the future though, like the implementation of FSRS, which we are currently in the testing phase of. I hope some of these solutions alleviate some of the issues that you are facing!
