After introducing a card, the forgetting curve in the card info looks too detailed for a few minutes/hours.

Probably, a single day should be represented by a single point rather than a curve.

@L.M.Sherlock IIRC this is intended. If the earliest review is today, representing the curve as just one point will make it useless, and it won’t be a curve in the first place. That being said, I do agree that we can reduce the granularity.

Suggestion : Projecting what the forgetting curve would be in the future, with a vertical line representing today.
