Memorised vs seen progress - hints?

[YannCebron]

I noticed that my memorised count was only at about 10% of total seen words. Would it make sense to push users in some way to keep this at a different (higher) level? It seems to me, I went "too fast" and should concentrate on increasing my count of memorised words first, before adding more new words.

Maybe some % indication with traffic light indicator or similar..?

Great idea @YannCebron ! I wonder what would make for a good memorised target? 🤔

[YannCebron]

not sure this could be generalized.. maybe a user setting and default of 20..30%?

[didoesdigital]

Hmm, maybe we could add something around here on the progress page?

[YannCebron]

yes, that makes perfectly sense

@YannCebron are you happy with where your accuracy is at for the majority of words you need to type? I was pondering good targets for memorised percentages and where/when we might prompt folk to focus on revision vs new words. I was wondering how accuracy with words you care about compares to % memorised as a measure of progress and possible feedback.

[YannCebron]

I'd argue those might be two different metrics. For me, I struggle sometimes with "new words" which I simply do not remember at all yet - having typed them maybe only once or twice - so my accuracy for those is 0%. Maybe time for a poll in discord? :-)

Go for it!
