I have just come up with an idea that in my view would be magical for improving ones game. It is the synthesis of a couple of ideas, which I believe are highly synergistic.
The "Learn from your mistakes" feature that the Lichess creators have come up with is really clever. You play your game, then go through where you went wrong. However, we forget the vast majority of things we view just the once. This is established fact and also common sense.
So, with this in mind, how about a "Spaced Repetition" approach to "Learn from your mistakes"? For those who have not come across the term, it basically means that if you space out a review of something in an optimally scheduled sequence, you will push that item into your long term memory with the greatest of efficiency.
I use a program called Anki for learning non-chess related items. If Lichess could build in Spaced Repetition into the Learn from your mistakes feature, that would be killer. You would end up iteratively improving your game, rather than learning from your game and then mostly forgetting what you learned, as is the current setup.
