Nice work.<p>Any plans for creating notes with cloze deletions? I have been looking for a lightweight implementation of an incremental reading system as described at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.supermemo.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;read.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.supermemo.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;read.htm</a>. Part of the system includes converting what you have read into question&#x2F;answer material.

Hm, very interesting idea. The extension seems to be a buggy. Or, maybe I&#x27;m not supposed to use the Firefox addon they have since the founder writes here that this is a Chrome extension.<p>Anyways, I&#x27;m logged into two Google accounts, one work and one personal. I want to use Hibou with my personal account, so in the extension I selected my personal one. But when I use the webapp, it tries to log me into my work one, since it&#x27;s the first one I logged in with on Google in general. So I switch the account in the top right but then the application dies, reloads and doesn&#x27;t allow me to login again.<p>And, I can&#x27;t really figure out how to save the text I&#x27;ve selected, it just stays yellow forever

Founder here. Hibou is a Chrome extension that allows you to highlight whatever you find interesting, then sends you a notification when it&#x27;s time to review those highlights. Spaced repetition is a proven technique that waits until you&#x27;re about to forget something before reminding you to review it, thus helping you remember as much as possible as effortlessly as possible.<p>I&#x27;d love to hear the thoughts of the HN community<p>Will

My first thoughts was &quot;Slander &#x2F; Abuse&quot;. I&#x27;m going to go with the naming wasn&#x27;t meant to be in Japanese (or Chinese), but thought you might want to be aware of that. :)<p>This is great. A reminder to go through what I&#x27;d normally slap in a bookmark with an intention of &quot;reread later&quot;. I&#x27;ll give it a test-drive.

Do you have a way to quiz the user? If it&#x27;s just review instead of attempted recall, it&#x27;s not near as effective.

The newest update had me remove the extension straightaway. I don&#x27;t need a &#x27;get started with hibou now&#x27; layer on all my pages if I haven&#x27;t used it yet on which I can&#x27;t even press &#x27;not now&#x27; because Hibou injects some google analytics which µblock blocks of course causing the JS to break...

Upon updating Chrome this morning I got this page: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;iCU0100.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;iCU0100.png</a><p>The button didn&#x27;t work and I&#x27;m leaning towards this being a bug. If this is intended, I&#x27;ll be uninstalling. I do not approve of this behavior in apps.

This is awesome! Loved it. I&#x27;d love it even more if there was an android app with offline access.
