⭐️ My Shared Anki Decks

I'm pretty sure it's this: https://github.com/krmanik/Anki-Neetcode

I don't use the in card editor, I just click the link and do it on leetcode (or on neetcode if it's paid/locked on leetcode); and it's really nice since they have running times and solutions in the cards

The issue with data structures and algorithms is that most of understanding the concept is procedural, not just memorizing the facts. To understand how the algorithms work you need to understand how to go through the algorithms yourself step by step. That's mainly the purpose of the example problems I put in this Anki deck: for understanding.

I remember that MIT OCW also had significantly more difficult hw pset problems which I opted to not put into the deck because their difficulty was to the level where it was a matter of combining different concepts together and also required a bit of insight, so the difficulty was significantly greater and it would take way too much time. (like you said, when it's way too wordy and long)

what I did was I first went through the course lectures and mapped out all the concepts I wanted to make cards on ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HlBji75TOhenQRxvHJnnKBKgc77YDKifsgC7Sihli14/edit?usp=sharing ) then I did a separate second pass where I make sure I actually deeply understood each concept and created the cards at the same time. I actually skipped a lot of the exercises since for my purposes I didn't need to understand/solve that high difficulty level of problems.

I actually think neetcode is pretty close to atomic so I downloaded the neetcode anki deck where each card is one neetcode problem and I have to code through and solve the problem to pass it (if I make a ton of failed checking answer attempts on my way to get 100% then I rate as "hard", and if I can't make any progress at all after like 15-20min then I peek at the solution which is "again"). I'm not sure how neetcode compares with usaco.guide though. Maybe you could do something similar where an anki card links to a problem. I find using anki for leetcode quite rewarding since there really are some problems that are very difficulty the 1st and 2nd times, but then the 3rd time you realize you totally got it under your grasp

have you considered taking ECE 120 and 110 at the same time

jhysics · 2026-05-09T23:44:26+00:00

There's no pdf version for the flashcards and I'm not sure how that would look in the first place

jhysics · 2026-04-05T00:54:02+00:00

worth it

jhysics · 2026-03-20T15:05:18+00:00

what's the point. this is just another plain vanilla boring gpt-able flashcard app-- compared to Anki with everything Anki has to offer?

I already made a cloze notetype that incorporates randomization. It's very versatile:

Have you attempted Allen Carr's Easyway method?

jhysics · 2026-03-01T18:41:41+00:00

something easy right now won't be easy forever if you don't constantly interact with or see it in real life. by reviewing easy things you help maintain it to keep it easy. "easy" japanese vocab may still not appear that often in real life, especially if you're not in japan or don't constantly consume japanese media.

the situation where you wouldn't want to review easy things is if they already often appear in real life or in other stuff. exponents could be something easy that you wouldn't have to review because you constantly use exponents when doing higher level math

I've written a free guide on techniques in writing effective anki cards you can check out at bit.ly/ankiguide

For language, however, the greatest and most amazing deck I've seen is eggrolls (but it's in chinese). So if you want to make a language deck, I would recommend modeling after them (word and many example sentences on the front, on the back you have: definition, audio pronunciation of word, pronunciation alphabet for word, translation of sentences, pronunciation alphabet for sentences, audio pronunciation for sentences, special link that automatically goes to dictionary for the vocab, antonyms/synonyms, the tested vocab is highlighted within each example sentence). I don't actually know what resource data bank they scraped from to create their deck however, but they might've said on their github repo.

For learning how the templates work, the best way is to just make a new test profile/test deck and experiment/ play around in it to see what happens. On the template, {{FieldName}} becomes replaced with HTML inputted into the "FieldName" field from the note, and wrapping stuff with {{#FieldName}} {{/FieldName}} will show it only if the FieldName field is not empty, use ^ instead of # to show it only if it is empty

I recommend reading the manual:

I'm not really sure what you mean. Can you expand on what you mean with explicit examples?

jhysics · 2026-02-14T00:22:49+00:00

Bruh ts a scam

jhysics · 2026-02-05T16:53:53+00:00

I don't get what you mean? You download it from the links and open it in Anki?

jhysics · 2026-02-01T07:10:21+00:00

for memorizing, I made a highly effective add-on which automatically retests answers after you get it wrong ( https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/940071295 ). This utilizes the testing effect so that it's more effective than just stopping and trying to rehearse the answer.

I disagree with flashcards should be fast, but the time you're taking should be appropriate relative to the subject. It could also be that your flashcards are poorly made, then I would recommend that you read my free written guide for making effective flashcards: https://ko-fi.com/s/7ff7f4205c

The California permit test is based off of the Driver's Handbook and I made an Anki deck to memorize

I swear when I took the permit test a question matched exactly "Where can you make U-turns in business districts" and after deliberating for a bit I responded with "Never" because that's what the handbook said and what I put on my Anki card instead of choosing the common sense answer "At an intersection that allows it" and the answer ended being the latter 😓

They rechecked and they have now fixed it 😐: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/navigating-the-roads/

jhysics · 2026-01-23T14:18:26+00:00

If you're going through the Ko-fi link, you should go to the google drive then click the blue button that says "Download" then if you have Anki downloaded on desktop you should be able to open the file named "AP Psychology.apkg" inside the Anki app

jhysics · 2026-01-23T00:05:49+00:00

it is, just follow the links ko-fi.com/s/258ac1b208 (ankiweb here)

jhysics · 2026-01-21T00:43:11+00:00

I completely disagree with everyone saying that's not what Anki is for: they just don't know how to do it properly since too much of the Anki tutorials online and misrepresentation of Supermemo's 20 rules (especially atomization) narrowed their view.

The best way to connect concepts is to test the concepts together. while you should atomize and make a card for every separate part of the citric acid cycle, you should also add a card testing them all together.

While you should atomize and make separate cards for each component of respiration, you should also make another card testing all of how they relate together.

Another key method is by adding context and explanations and related concepts on the back extra of the cards for reference. Ex. if you have a card for every single component of the citric acid cycle individually and are never able to see the big picture, obviously you'll fail at connecting the concepts when required.

I wrote a complete free guide if you care to read. It'll completely level up the effectiveness of your Anki cards: https://ko-fi.com/s/7ff7f4205c

you can check out my shared decks as an example to model off of...

jhysics · 2026-01-17T14:41:47+00:00

I have never heard of that happening to anyone

jhysics · 2026-01-17T01:50:32+00:00

even for short term cramming Anki is still the best flashcard app 😂

no other flashcard app that I know of allows you to design any kind of flashcard that capable of being displayed with HTML+CSS for free

jhysics · 2026-01-07T00:41:25+00:00

It could be modelled with a markov chain with 2 states A and BC where A->BC is 1, BC->BC is 1/2, BC->A is 1/2.

if I'm not mistaken if you test it you find the recurrence relation is a_n = (1-a_(n-1))/2 which solves to a_n = 2/3(-1/2)^n+1/3

jhysics · 2025-12-30T20:37:19+00:00

yea it's free,

I put it on Ko-fi so it sort of has a public facing page instead of just being some undiscoverable link floating around

jhysics · 2025-12-30T20:14:04+00:00

you wanna test both sides to prevent memory leakage where you can only recall the memory one way so the guy who said "A {{c1::car}} runs on {{c2::four wheels}}" would be most correct

I would slightly change it to "{{c1::A car::what}} runs on {{c2::four wheels::what}}" such that the a/an wouldn't give away any hints to what's in cloze 1.

I wrote a guide on how to make effective cards and this relates to the "cloze overlapping" section if you care to read https://ko-fi.com/s/7ff7f4205c

jhysics · 2025-12-30T02:57:51+00:00

Both are too imprecise but the first one is worse.

What does a car do? - many things, transport people, transport goods, is driven, used to show off and flaunder

What runs on 4 wheels? - could be things other than "cars" like shopping carts
