I have been a user of Anki for the last 3 years and became curious about the inner workings of the SuperMemo algorithm it uses under the hood as a means to reset the forgetting curve. Thus I decided to create a CLI application that implements said algorithm and persists the data to an SQLite database.
After watching multiple videos that speak highly of the language for its readability and usability, I decided to give it a Go (pun intended) and a CLI application is always a great first project to get comfortable with syntax and the standard libraries. Moreover, I wanted to have a bit of fun with a language that's different from the one I use at work (C#).
