Hi Guest,
I don't have any plans right now to include e-factors in the logic. I wanted to keep things a little more simple and understandable, so I didn't use this idea. My factors don't have any memory of past performance like you said, but I generally like it that way. You say "huge waste of time", but I disagree. Cards you know well get higher and higher intervals, and those you don't won't. A downside that you mentioned is that after an incorrect response, two cards that might have a very different history but now have the same interval will behave identically with the same responses now. While there could be an improvement on incorporating this history in the calculation, my opinion is that the simplicity of my logic outweighs the relatively little benefit (in my opinion) you would gain in real-world practical use.
It's very probable that I'll be tweaking my logic or options in the future, but I don't have plans now for e-factors.
Anyway, that is my view and thoughts on this. Sorry about that.
