Getting Started with Eigma
Recall colours and review
Every page shows a recall colour for how well you actually know it, not how often you have opened it. The colour is an honest signal of what has truly stuck.
What the colours mean
| Colour | What it means |
|---|---|
| Grey | Captured, not read yet |
| Silver | Read |
| Gold | Read, and its quizzes answered right |
Within a colour, brighter means stronger. Left alone, a colour dims over time (dark gold means you knew this once and it is time to refresh), but it never resets to the start. Reading takes a page to silver; answering its quizzes correctly is what carries it to gold. That is the point of the quizzes: they turn reading into something you can actually recall.
Questions on every page
Each page comes with a few short questions, written when the conversation was captured. You answer by choosing an option, never by typing. You can edit or delete any question, write your own, or use Add quiz to have your own chatbot write more for that page.
The Internalize tab
On the Internalize tab, For you gives you one short round a day, 7 questions unless you pick 5 or 10 in Settings. Pages you have read but not yet tested come first, then reviews that are due, then pages you have not read. The schedule adapts to you: answer well and the next review moves further out, answer wrong and it comes back sooner. Want more? Start another round. All quizzes holds every question and shows how familiar you are chapter by chapter, weakest first. In the Android app, an evening reminder tells you when today's round is still waiting. On Home, the memory assistant sorts today into three small piles, pages to read, pages ready to recall, and pages that are starting to fade, and its memory report tells you how you are really doing.
Common questions
Why is my page still silver? You have read it but not answered its questions correctly yet. Reading gets you to silver, gold takes recall. These onboarding pages are ordinary wiki pages, so you can watch them turn gold as you go.
Where does my wiki actually live? On your device, and in your account's cloud backup once you sign in. A volume holds up to 500 pages; when one is full, shelve it and start the next. In a browser, clearing the site's data would take a signed-out wiki with it, so export a backup from Settings → Export / backup now and then, or sign in and let Eigma back it up for you.
Quizzes
What does a gold page mean?
- Read, and its quizzes answered right
- Captured, but not opened yet
- Read, but not yet quizzed
- Published to the community
Gold means read and quizzes answered right; reading alone stops at silver.
On the Internalize tab, what happens when you answer a question well?
- The next review moves further out
- The page turns grey again
- The question is deleted
- The page is archived
Answering well pushes the next review further out; answering wrong brings it back sooner.
Opening a page again and again is enough to turn it gold.
- True
- False
Views take a page to silver at most; only answering its questions correctly unlocks gold.
