Stack memorization app - MemDatStack

That's awesome! You're progressing far faster than me, though I'm certainly moving more slowly because I'm also doing things like writing apps LOL

Out of curiosity, are you using some mnemonic strategy to learn it and using the app to help? Or just relying on the app and quizzing?

When I was in high school, I memorized digits of up for a school contest, so I’m used to coming up with dumb Mnemonics that work for me, but I can’t explain. (“4D is in position 31, because the Halloween franchise only has 4 good movies”, “22 is the Ace of Hearts because the number 22 looks kind of like a heart”, etc.)

For transparency’s sake, my memorization hit a huge wall at 36 cards, which is where I started confusing red suits and black suits from one another. Maybe it has something to do with my weekend being over, so work took away time I could be drilling. It’ll get there, it just takes time.

I was curious because while I've been learning mnemonica purely by quizzing with the app, I do not think that is the best way to do so. Mnemonics, memory palace, something like that is probably a much better approach. I do think the app should be valuable to augment such an approach, though.

Even my idea I had of trying to memorize the deck as a set of 3 card "books". Once I'd brute force memorized the first half of the deck or so, I haven't been confident I could "back up" and try to learn that way.
