- Memory tool first, game second: Effective spaced repetition algorithm at the core, with collectible card game mechanics providing motivation and engagement.
- Deck building: Organize cards into themed decks - “Anxiety verses”, “Psalm 23”, “Wisdom passages”, etc. Single cards can belong to multiple decks.
- Card progression: Cards level up as you successfully recall them. Visual “dust” accumulates on neglected cards without destroying progress until you actually fail a review.
- Card anatomy: For scripture memory, backs show verse references while fronts display the text. Flexible format works for any memorization content.
- Pack opening mechanic: Acquire themed collections of verses or passages through satisfying pack-opening experiences.
- Multiple acquisition paths:
- Earn packs through consistent daily study
- Browse and freely add verses you want to memorize
- Community marketplace for user-created collections
- Currency unlocks cosmetics and card details rather than gating core content
- Social & competitive features:
- Knowledge battles - race to recall cards fastest and most accurately
- Deck stats and collection comparison with friends
- Cooperative study partners to encourage each other
- Mobile-first experience: Fluid, intuitive gestures for card review and deck management. One-handed operation for studying on the go.
- Variants & editions: Same verse in different translations, artistic designs, or special editions for collectors.
MemoryDex transforms the discipline of scripture memory into an engaging collecting experience - your growing deck is both a spiritual discipline and a personal achievement to nurture and show off.
My ideas aren't bad enough? Have a (tiny and pretty silly) in-browser LLM dream up more thoughts about this idea. It may take a while, depending on your device
