Anki uses this information to plug these cards into its algorithm. You do this by selecting: easy, medium, or hard. The Anki language app works like this: you plug in your vocab, review your words for the day, then tell Anki how easy or difficult those words were to remember. You Tell Anki Which Words You Find Easy, Medium or Difficult to Recall Nonetheless, let me explain what Spaced Repetition is, and why you absolutely need it in your language learning life. This little trick of knowing what terms to show you, and when, is known as Spaced Repetition. Here’s an overview of all the Anki features that I love and why they make Anki the perfect tool for language learners.Īnki only shows you words that you’re on the verge of forgetting. Honestly, Anki is a dream for language learners, because instead of forcing you to learn the same terms over and over and over and over again, it puts the easy stuff to the side and drills you on what you’re having a hard time with.
If you think I love Anki because it saves paper, you’re… well you’re not wrong, but you’re not completely right, either. Different books and websites and ways to figure out languages come and go, but only one always remains: Anki (available for iPhone, Android, and desktop).Īnki cards are basically digital flashcards that you can use on both your computer and your mobile device, but they’re so, so much more than that. I’ve been learning languages on and off for more years than I’d like to count.

I think I am stating what you already know, given how much time we spent on semantic versioning and add-on registration so that users connect add-on issues with the correct person that can fix them etc, but I wanted to be clear about the goals again since I think this will be the last building block that makes the whole Javascript API / add-ons thing become popular and see wide usage.Full disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. Lots of perspectives to take into account, and a time frame so long that even tiny costs need to be considered and avoided if possible

So I have a strong desire to expose the full power of modern javascript to add-on authors, to take control of their display at minimum and maybe parts of anki behavior as well, but I am going to try to "attack" every single idea and design decision with every way I can think of about how it could be abused or what it will cost us as ecosystem maintainers or users as add-on consumers or add-on creators/maintainers as well. Every convention we adopt or design decision we make may have tremendous impact that lasts for the next decade - along with whatever problems they have. Please be patient with me as I think through this - perhaps more patient than before, although last big PR I think also took some time and you were super patient with me/us then :-)Īnyway, my specific goal here, and why I want to really think about it, is that "javascript addons", if we do them well could be something that goes out for the whole ecosystem. This is fantastic, I'm really excited to see this (and the associated PR). Enable the addons, so that the contents of addons will be added to reviewer during review.

The alternative solution will be copying pasting the code to Card template manually. I am implementing this Feature but it requires some discussion and possible changes to make this feature more useful.
It can be extented for AnkiDesktop and AnkiMobile if both have API.īut GOAL here is to have addon support so that all deck should share same HTML/CSS/JS like addon for AnkiDroid. So, in #7958 PR there are implementation for containing the addons to AnkiDroid only. But the AnkiDesktop and AnkiMobile have not exposed the API like AnkiDroid JS API. The addons made in javascript so it will be used in Anki Ecosystem as Anki Desktop and Anki Mobile use webview for reviewer. But deck developer have to tell or guide user to add HTML/CSS/JS. There are already some API have been exposed in AnkiDroid JS API. But for AnkiDroid JavaScript may be option to implement some of the addons. Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.įor Anki, addons can be made using Python.
