Feature request: Puzzles repetition training "Woodpecker Method"

[skilledchess]

Thank you very much for the hard work in your application. It is one of the best tools that I have found to train offline. Having a repetition mode would be great as the so -called Woodpecker Method.

Thank you very much again for this great application.

Hi! I'm really really happy that you're enjoying the app, thanks for the words :)

And I agree, it would be great to have the option of some kind of spaced repetition or something like the Woodpecker Method.

But I'm always unsure how to do things like that well, since the user can select different puzzle filters every time. One idea I had was to, instead of having a favorites database, let the user create multiple collections, perhaps if we also saved the progress of the puzzles' solutions of that collection, the user would already be able to do the Woodpecker Method if I understand it right (since it's a repetition of the complete set of puzzles in a set amount of time from what I understood).

And for spaced repetition there'd need to be a separate logic.

But about the Woodpecker method specifically, I haven't read the book yet, so I only have a general idea of how it should work, perhaps I should actually take the time to read it 😅

Oh, and another thing that might be useful already:

If in the settings you set the limit of puzzles to e.g. 50, filter the puzzles as you like and click search, you are guaranteed to see the exact same 50 puzzles every time you open the app and use that search criteria (as long as you don't update the lichess database of course), just in different order, which can already be used as a repetition tool.

Thank you very much for the rapid answer. I will use your instructions to get more out of your tool.
Thanks again :)
