 ## About
 
-Gnosis (γνῶσις), pronounced "noh-sis", meaning knowledge in Greek, is
+Gnosis (γνῶσις), pronounced "noh-sis", *meaning knowledge in Greek*, is
 a [Spaced Repetition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition)
-package for GNU Emacs.
+System (SRS) for note taking and self testing.
 
-### Differences with other SRS
-Gnosis does not implement flashcard type review sessions where the
-user rates his own answer on an arbitrary scale. Instead implements
-"note" types that require user input. Some of these note types, like
-the `MCQ` *multiple choice question*, even allow for simulating
-real-life exams.
-
-Unlike other SRS implementations for GNU Emacs that rely on
-`org-mode`, which I've found not an ideal option for a database
-replacement. Instead utilizes an
-[sqlite](https://www.sqlite.org/index.html) database, thanks to
-[emacsql](https://github.com/magit/emacsql), enabling efficient data
-management and manipulation. 
-
-## Installation
-### Straight.el
-``` emacs-lisp
-(straight-use-package 
- '(gnosis :type git
-	      :host nil
-	      :repo "https://git.thanosapollo.org/gnosis"))
-```
-
-### Manual
-``` shell
-$ git clone https://git.thanosapollo.org/gnosis
-```
-
-*Add this to your emacs configuration:*
-
-``` emacs-lisp
-   (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/gnosis")
-   (load-file "~/path/to/gnosis.el")
-   (require 'gnosis)
-```
-
-
-## Adding notes
-
-Creating notes for gnosis can be done with a simple
-`M-x gnosis-add-note`
-
-
-Everything is done through the mini-buffer. My personal workflow takes
-advantage of that by not really leaving `gnosis-add-note` prompt until
-I finish studying a chapter/section, using
-[pdf-tools](https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools "Emacs pdf-tools") or
-[nov.el](https://depp.brause.cc/nov.el/ "Emacs nov.el").
-
-### Creating cloze type notes
-Cloze type note questions are formatted similarly to Anki's syntax, like so:
-> {c1:Cyproheptadine} is a(n) {c2:5-HT2} receptor antagonist used to treat {c2:serotonin syndrome}
-
-
-*NOTE*: You can also format clozes like Anki if you so prefer; e.g
-`{{c1::Cyproheptadine}}`
-
-+ For each `cX`-tag there will be created a cloze type note, the above
-  example creates 2 cloze type notes.
-
-+ Each `cX` tag can have multiple clozes, but each cloze must be a
-  *UNIQUE* word (or a unique combination of words) in given note.
-
-## Customizing gnosis algorithm
-
-### `gnosis-algorithm-interval`
-
-This is a list of 2 numbers, for the first 2 intervals after a
-successful review. For example:
-
-``` emacs-lisp
-(setq gnosis-algorithm-interval '(1 3))
-```
-
-After first successfully reviewing a note, you will see it again
-tomorrow, if you successfully review said note again, the next review
-will be after 3 days.
-
-### `gnosis-algorithm-ef`
-
-This is gnosis "easiness factor", it's basically a list that consists
-of 3 items. The first item is the increase factor, used to increase
-the easiness factor upon successful review. Second item refers to the
-decrease factor, used to decrease the easiness factor upon an
-unsuccessful review. The third item is the initial total easiness
-factor, used to calculate the next interval.
-
-The basic's of how this is used is that it's being multiplied with the
-last interval, e.g if you last reviewed a note 6 days ago, and the
-easiness factor of this note is 2.0, your next interval would be 6 *
-2.0. The next easiness will be 2.0 + increase-factor as well.
-
-For example:
-
-``` emacs-lisp
-(setq gnosis-algorithm-ef '(0.3 0.3 1.3))
-```
-
-### `gnsois-algorithm-ff`
-
-This is the value of gnosis forgetting factor(ff), it needs to be a floating number below 1. The 101 is that it's used to calculate the next interval upon an unsuccessful review, by being multiplied with last interval, if for a note with a value of last-interval of 6 days and a ff of 0.5, upon an unsuccessful review the next interval will be 6 * 0.5
-
-For example:
-
-``` emacs-lisp
-(setq gnosis-algorithm-ff 0.5)
-```
