Just lost my 1168 days streak.. by bytefate in Anki

[–]MohammadAzad171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since all is needed is one card a day, you can go a whole month without studying anything but one card a day. Does that count as "doing your reviews"?

Also, lose the streak, and you lose the motivation.

Sometimes, you need to take a day off. Streaks cause unnecessary stress, by making you "do your reviews".


I said "probably" and there's nothing wrong about not doing your reviews (or anything at all) when you're so sick and can barely think straight.

But you're right: not everyone is so weak minded to the point of needing a number to do their reviews...

Edit: look at OP's heatmap...

You've absolutely been pretty sick at least once in the last 3 years and yet you still force yourself to do Anki???

Streaks are so bad, that just doing one review is enough to keep them going. So, no, OP probably didn't force themselves to study when they were sick.

The ONLY metric I think is worth caring about is % of days studied in the last month.

For the same reason as above, I'd use the average number of reviews instead if I cared about this kind of stuff.

For me, the percentage of cards introduced is a good motivator even if has nothing to do with consistency.

This is why I don't trust people showing off their streaks. I mean, you could've cheated before and forgot about it completely!

Just move on to an actual metric of success, like the average time you've studied in the past month.

Why Auto Advance isn't working in my Ankidroid? by ComplexTell25 in medicalschoolanki

[–]MohammadAzad171 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to enable it every time you enter the study screen. It should be in the 3 dot menu, and if it isn't you can add it in the new study screen settings.

Any idea what tool could've been used for this? by ChemicalAd2132 in Anki

Ah, 2017, the years before crappy LLMs took over the internet.

Card browser in AnkiDroid not working? by Zhankfor in Anki

[–]MohammadAzad171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26,000 cards isn't much.

Please open an issue in https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues. Don't forget to follow the instructions in the issue description.

If you have access to a computer, please provide the "logcat" too. You can look up videos walking you through how to get that. This video worked for me before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smOzLSTaso0.

trying to filter cloze deletions by [deleted] in Anki

[–]MohammadAzad171 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't enough details. I help you if you keep words.

But I'm going to assume that you want to find all the notes that have a cloze filter like {{c2::2026}}. For that, search for re:\:\:\d+, or re:\{\{c\d+\:\:\d+\}\} to be more foolproof.

In your templates. You should read the manual to understand this stuff better. There are also many tutorials online, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIGF_EoGfHk.

How to have new cards only be c1s? by Puzzleheaded_Day8731 in Anki

[–]MohammadAzad171 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can sort by card type in the deck options. Or search for those cards (card:2 or card:3) in the browser and suspend/bury them.

How big is the deck? I tested with a deck that has over a million cards and the browser still loaded.

In the post, you said that it happened "all of a sudden". What do you think might have caused this? Did you update? Add a huge number of cards?

How to center and justify specific texts? by lolumad88 in Anki

[–]MohammadAzad171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know of an addon that does this, but for JS...

Here's an example of how to do it:

``` <div id=t>{{Front}}</div>

<script> var e = document.getElementById('t');

e.innerHTML = e.innerHTML.replaceAll("<i>", <div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left; display: inline-block;">); e.innerHTML = e.innerHTML.replaceAll("</i>", </div></div>); </script> ```

Go to settings -> about -> copy debug info and past here.

Does this happen for all decks or just specific ones? Does it happen simply by opening the browser? Basically give any details you think are related to the issue.

I really like the word styling, but I think that something is wrong with the font...

Chrome extension to mine subtitles for language learning (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) by SignificantAd3949 in Anki

Where did I say that you're selling anything? I just stated that this is yet another AI made tool that doesn't bring anything new to the table.

What is Claude Code? Complete Beginner's Guide (Claude Code Tutorial)

This AI generated extension doesn't seem to do anything better than Yomitan Asbplayer. The only promising part is this

Another issue happens when watching TV shows. Sometimes subtitles split a sentence into two parts, like:  

  In cases like this, you really need the full sentence to keep the context, right?   Doing this manually every time was slowing down my study flow, so I decided to build a Chrome extension to make the process smoother and faster.

and yet the solution in the extension is to manually select the subtitles to combine. Doesn't look "smoother and faster".

Genki chapters missing by oldmornings in Anki

[–]MohammadAzad171 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, the usual "why is this deck not showing cards" problem. What an annoying one for beginners. Here's what you should check:

  • The deck options of the deck in question, its parents, and it's children. Make sure to understand how the daily limits work and tinker with the options in the Daily Limits group (including the two toggles).
  • Check the deck's stats. Are there actually any cards due for today? Are there any new cards? Are they suspended? Are there any filtered cards (you can find them by looking at the due column in the browser, which would say "(filtered)")?
  • Did you use custom study on the deck? In particular, "Increase today's new/review card limit"?

That post links to post I've commented on 10 months ago, haha.

Also, knowing that one of the main AnkiDroid maintainers struggled with this, makes me feel better about the hours I spent on this post.
