Curious what HN thinks about a spaced repetition social network.

You could mark items in the feed to space repeat for yourself. This would also function as a “retweet”, which would align incentives such that content that gets promoted is actually durably useful or interesting. The posts people make would repeat to themselves too, so the source content should be good.

I have no idea when I'll go on a cruise next. But if I do and make friends on the cruise, I'm going to call them afterwards on a spaced repetition schedule.

I think that this should turn some of those temporary friendships into lifelong ones instead!

I think that's a really interesting idea.
