As I am also writing technical notes (for example when learning a new programming language or framework) I wish I could combine the file based notes with spaced repetition (similar to Anki).
Does anyone know a system where I can combine the two features (simple text note taking and spaced repetition)?

Basically you take notes like you normally would and the "diffs" of your notes become the elements you will review using spaced-repetition style intervals.
Drawbacks:
- It's not exactly user friendly in its current implementation.
- There isn't any way to give yourself a grade based on how well you remembered a piece of information.
- You must take care to write notes in small blurbs before running the "diff" command, otherwise I end up with large chunks of text to revise and I won't review properly.
- The lack of question-answer mechanism pretty much bypasses the whole "active recall" principle, or whatever that was called.
(Edit: spacing.)
