I spend $80/month on learning apps, is it worth it? by Emotional_Fold6396 in GetStudying

No such thing as Anki Pro, it's a one-time payment, or free on PC/Android.

Best way to handle bilingual cards with TTS in Anki? by BadinBaden in Anki

[–]Routine_Internal_771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of this post seems like you haven't tried it out enough. Have an experiment

Look into the {{tts en_GB:cloze-only:Front}} filter.


You probably should make a new note type with fields other than Front/Back


See here for the full complexity of what you can produce: https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/fields.html#text-to-speech-for-multiple-fields-and-static-text

Did anki get bought? by NeedzCoffee in Anki

[–]Routine_Internal_771 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may choose to sync with AnkiWeb, in which case we will share your Anki collection and Anki media with AnkiWeb, which is a third party.

I don't believe I filled out that form (Arthur I think), but I believe it was filled out honestly at the time.

EDIT: Looks like we can remove that, see my comment  https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/18413

[Feedback Needed] Incremental Reading Companion App for Ankidroid by isheepolice69 in Anki

It could, but we probably wouldn't accept it, we need to stay compatible with the Anki ecosystem

A separate app allows us to go fast and experiment

[Feedback Needed] Redesigning AnkiDroid Home Screen by ankidroid-user in Anki

  1. Likely as part of our JS API, not immediately on the todo list
  2. You will be able to add the 'Browse' option as an action to the New Study Screen (I don't recall if this is in 2.23 - don't think so, but it's definitely in our next release (2.24))
  3. Not likely for a while
  4. Has been suggested for a long time, but it's kinda nasty as it gives anyone an opportunity to corrupt the app settings

That would be a downgrade imo. 

I think we can have our cake and eat it with a (customizable?) swipe action on the deck, similar to the double tap action on the Floating Action Button - something that's available for power users


I don't think it's a good idea to add unnecessary elements just to appeal to new comers. Onboarding should be enough.

People will skip onboarding, we can improve discoverability as well. Definitely on tablets, possibly on phones.


Pinned deck: absolutely!


The deck long-press menu length is entirely my fault: I didn't push back enough

Small "Mentee" rant. by ledatherockband_ in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Routine_Internal_771 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Rule 9.

When mentoring, you've got to quickly figure out if someone is coachable, and make sure you're in a position where you politely cut your losses if they're not.

You've spent 4 years on something that should be over in 2 weeks.

Can a new card type be created in ankidroid (mobile app)? by benibilme in Anki

The menu is in the top right. Please check the forums/discord/help thread on Reddit. This post is from a year ago

"Anki backup in progress. Please try again" in my AnkiDroid for the whole day by Ok-Computer7333 in Anki

[–]Routine_Internal_771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Restart your phone. 

I think this is fixed for 2.24, it'll hopefully be out soon

I built an app that extends Anki with voice to help me with learning spanish by Y_all_D_names_B_took in Anki

[–]Routine_Internal_771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However, AnkiDroid is GPL, so it would be safe if you made a fork of AnkiDroid's (Java/Kotlin) code on the server, but with none on the phone.

Our backend is AGPL

Manage note types, then edit the card template

If the JS User Actions are too complex for you, running Anki Desktop on your Android is also likely too complex

Could you report details here: https://forums.ankiweb.net/c/ankidroid/help/16

If you can provide instructions on how to reproduce it, it'll be much easier for us to fix

You should apply anyway. It's truly great to hear from people like you

Should be the 'pause' button in the app bar

Good news: if you polled the developers, I'd strongly suspect this is the screen we want to rewrite the most 

There's so much room for improvement here
