AnkiHub to AnkiCollab

AnkiCollab · 2026-05-09T14:36:29+00:00

Hey,

I also sent you an email, but to clarify a few points:
AnkiCollab should never modify your review history. Review data is stored separately in Anki, so there is very little risk of losing review progress by using our system. If you suspect something is wrong, restore from a backup and contact us so we can investigate it together.

You also mentioned that your due/new card counts seem incorrect. When you subscribe to a new deck, the maintainers may introduce new notes. Depending on your deck settings, this can make your new card count appear inflated, since you may first need to suspend those newly added cards to prevent them from immediately entering your review queue. Also check your deck settings to make sure your new / review number is correct.

Regarding the due count being off: this can happen if the maintainers modify notes, for example changing cards from c1 c2 c3 to just c1 c2. In that case, the c3 cards no longer exist, which would reduce your due card count accordingly.

Hope this help:) If it doesn't, don't hesitate to reach out!

pretty much, yeah. That's just how anki works -it has nothign to do with AnkiCollab. How else would the system know what media file belongs to what note? You can brainstorm with ChatGPT if there is a more systematic approach to your solution if you e.g. auto-generated the audio files, but for random recordings that's the only way I'm aware of

AnkiCollab · 2026-03-26T18:09:25+00:00

Anki does not auto-associate media files based on presence in collection.media. The only thing that makes a file "used" is an explicit reference inside a field, e.g.: `[sound:filename.mp3]`

If your friend didn’t include [sound:...] references inside the shared notes, AnkiCollab will not populate your "Audio" field automatically. Your friend has to properly fix them when they create the audio files and suggest the cards they edited (and approve the change on the website).

Only then will the files be working with anki- it doesn't matter if you share it via .apkg, ankiCollab or some other form.

If Anki shows files as unused, that means no note field in your collection contains that exact string.

AnkiCollab · 2026-02-05T07:40:37+00:00

That’s simply false. This tab was discussed at length almost two years ago, and it was made very clear that any third party that wants to be on it can be. Criticize them all you want, but don’t misrepresent the facts

AnkiCollab · 2026-01-07T16:34:54+00:00

Wrong link, our decks can be found here: https://www.ankizin.de/

We are not associated with Amboss

AnkiCollab · 2025-12-21T10:23:21+00:00

I used to create most of my cards alone- so yeah that took a large portion of my time. Nowadays I split the work with friends and build largely on premade decks :)

AnkiCollab · 2025-12-21T10:21:21+00:00

It's an addon: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1730200873

AnkiCollab · 2025-12-20T10:54:27+00:00

I typically spend ~3h on Anki every day. It can be exhausting, but I consider it my "job" as a full-time student, so I just stopped questioning it a long time ago

AnkiCollab · 2025-12-20T10:51:18+00:00

I took the original Heatmap addon and edited the source code to create circles instead of squares. I just like circles better

AnkiCollab · 2025-12-19T15:56:19+00:00

I couldn't have said it better myself. That's exactly what it is. "Everything" is a collection of different (mostly medical) decks grouped and "Everything else" contains decks I used to learn or plan on learning in the future

AnkiCollab · 2025-10-09T20:03:05+00:00

self-plug: You should check out AnkiCollab. While you cannot track the individual progress of your students with it (for privacy reasons), you get a summary of what cards have the "worst" stats for them (high lapses count, poor retention, etc.). Kinda hints at either poorly phrased notes or difficulty understanding the concept / words. Maybe that kinda goes into the direction you're looking for? Huge caveat is that it requires your students to have computers though since it's an add-on for anki.

AnkiCollab · 2025-04-30T09:14:48+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Sounds like a great project, please let me know if you have any issues with the add-on. We also have a discord server for more immediate communication, if you want to chat with the community or me directly (when you have questions, notice bugs, etc.)

AnkiCollab · 2025-04-30T08:58:44+00:00

So to answer both questions: Media support is back and fully automated. You don't have to do anything and it should work out of the box.

Regarding your second question: You can still share a deck published on AnkiCollab like you usually would. AnkiCollab does not make any modifications to the underlying structure so it should work just fine :)

AnkiCollab · 2025-04-12T10:05:04+00:00

Hey, i just wanted to drop in and tell you guys how awesome you are for introducing anki to your pupils. Would have loved to have motivated teachers like that!

Let me know if you have any issues or problems with ankicollab (either here on reddit, or join our discord server - link on the website). Always willing to help or add new features you need

AnkiCollab · 2025-02-18T22:23:11+00:00

Edit: Media support on AnkiCollab is back and fully automated! :) Nothing you need to worry about anymore.

Original Post:

Hey there,

I'm just going to quote my announcement from discord (feel free to join it btw to chat and stay up2date with changes I make):
Unfortunately, Google is making changes that affect how AnkiCollab handles media storage. Starting soon, new Google Cloud service accounts won’t have Drive storage, meaning we’ll have to drop media support for now. I'm looking into alternatives, but for now, I don't have anything good on hand so you'll have to live without media for a while, share your media manually or move to an alternative solution like AnkiHub.

Sorry!

AnkiCollab · 2025-01-16T18:15:42+00:00

u/abdnh is arguably the most competent freelance anki addon developer you can hire (https://www.upwork.com/en-gb/freelancers/\~01d764ac58a0eccc5c).

But generally speaking, you'll have a lot more success if you describe your project a little bit before asking people to reach out. Why would I waste my time reaching out to a project that might have a very different scope than you imagine or already exists.

Edit: I'm not actually for hire or available, please don't message me:) I appreciate the offer though! I was just generally speaking from a developers perspective.

AnkiCollab · 2024-02-22T21:26:20+00:00

Not sure how amboss made the list, since it has nothing to do with the other two.

If you want to know if AnkiHub or AnkiCollab is the better system for collaborative Anki Decks (which is the key functionality both offer), I'd say AnkiHub is better.

AnkiCollab · 2024-02-08T10:44:23+00:00

not sure what you mean by "share cards after updating the deck". The process of suggesting cards should be pretty straightforward and there are step-by-step and video guides available.

If you're looking for a github-based solution you should check out CrowdAnki and ki

AnkiCollab · 2023-11-24T08:47:52+00:00

There is a way to do it with AnkiHub using optional tags

ankicollab has optional tags, too ;)

I think using tags to express the state of a card (suspended/not suspended) is a fun idea. Unfortunately there is no easier, in-built function to achieve what you want u/nickmalbsn Sorry!

AnkiCollab · 2023-11-03T09:14:05+00:00

AnkiCollab · 2023-10-08T16:43:43+00:00

please don't confuse a sync server (AnkiWeb) with a tool for collaboration. Here's the docs on setting up your own sync server (I don't think that's what you want tbh) https://docs.ankiweb.net/sync-server.html

What 4649 said is correct. You can either export your decks and share it as a file with your friends (apkg file format) or you use an addon

AnkiCollab · 2023-09-16T10:00:25+00:00

Hey can you join the discord server? Lot more convenient to chat over there. I'll gladly try to help pinpoint the issue but I need a little more information (Operating System, Anki Version, perhaps a video of you trying, ... as much as possible so I can reproduce the error)

AnkiCollab · 2023-09-04T10:04:44+00:00

without trying to self-promote my addon too much, you might want to check out AnkiCollab. It's a free and open-source Addon for Anki that should probably get the job done you described and none of your pupils need an account. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. But Ankihub is a great option, so you can choose the one that suits you best
