What do you guys think about limiting the number of cards to review each day? For example, if I set this value to 80 cards, it will show me only those cards even though there should be around 200 for this day.
If you feel you can see more cards, pressing the button 'view more late cards' would get the next 80 cards. It would be very usefull for me. Early this year when I went on vacation, I had about 1400 scheduled cards. It took me like 3 weeks to review them, and at the end I had about 350 grade 1 cards. After a session of 80 cards, I would rather go through those that I forgot giving a grade 1, than to review all the cards and watch the pile of grade 1 cards increase dramatically. This is probably not the way it was designed, but I think it will have a good impact on the motivation. It's like: "Oh well, I have 1500 cards to review, but I won't need to sit for over 3 weeks to keep on my studies."
