Description

Memdora's collaborative layer lets users publish decks publicly, to friends, or privately; published decks appear in a Discover feed where users follow them. When the deck owner adds, edits, or removes a card, "all followers' copies update instantly—no re-follow required", while "each follower maintains independent FSRS-6 scheduling state, learning at their own pace". The infrastructure uses a publish-subscribe model with server-side scheduling state.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • A publish-subscribe infrastructure with each follower maintaining independent scheduling state server-side

Constraints

  • The collaborative deck features have not yet been evaluated in a formal educational setting; deployment may reveal unmet needs around teacher workflows and institutional authentication

Target Learners

  • students following a teacher's shared deck
  • community deck followers

Learning Goals

  • shared vocabulary learning with teacher-curated content

Claims

Patterns Used

  • Spaced Learning: each follower keeps independent FSRS-6 scheduling state, so a shared deck does not impose a shared review schedule
