CrowdAnki VS anki-connect

There's no easy way as of yet. The deck Ultimate Geography is made using CrowdAnki

You should take a look at this AddOn: https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki

The collaboration is based on Github and the plugin CrowdAnki (Which I think is amazing).

There's a serious need for tools to collaboratively build community flash cards. See /r/medicalschoolanki. However the tools they have aren't great - right now they have to collect eratta in a literal google spreadsheet. There's no native way to sync changes from a master deck to any "follower" decks. I believe that Anking is also working on this problem by building a very fancy website and plugin, ETA sometime this year I think. However even with this solution, you are required to use that deck's notes and note types. You can customize it after downloading the update, but any subsequent updates will overwrite your customizations. There are custom fields that are intended to be customized by users, but now you're stuck on that note type. Also, every deck change has to go through some central committee, and I'm trying to build something more decentralized. I'm gonna assume that Anking doesn't really want to maintain a language learning deck. With my thing, anyone can publish any deck/card, and anyone can subscribe to it, receive notifications upon updates, and be able to merge changes without overwriting their customizations. (Or, if they do, it's easily undo-able. Yay event sourcing.) There are other ways to collaboratively build decks like CrowdAnki, but it means that people have to learn git. That's kinda a nonstarter. Also with Anki, you have to share decks, not cards.

However it isn't as powerful as what you're asking for. If you're looking for source control, this exists: https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki

That's a pretty good idea. It's basically taking https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki and giving it a better UI.

The templates included are more than just the ones that are shown. To use them, you simply have to get the deck, which you can either download from AnkiWeb, this is easier but might also be outdated, or you can use the CrowdAnki add-on and import straight from the GitHub repo of this project.

How do you make these and have you considered using something like crowdanki to host these on github? Based on your other comments it seems like you're relying on translators, which makes me think having some sort of verison control would be good. Similarly, it would let people make extended versions just by forking. You could also show the languages you're developing.

Creating a Node.js Scraper: Initially, I created a web scraper for my Anki collection using Anki Connect and Node.js. I chose Node.js because I believed that using Rust would require defining every field for the response object(later found out I was wrong). Encountered issues: My program kept crashing due to not specifying the query to be of the same type(as I am writing this I realize I could have just did if(note.field == undefined) continue;) or the TypeScript ?. Resorting to single requests: To resolve the issue, I decided to send one request per card, resulting in processing 50,000 cards, which took 15-30 minutes.

Has anyone used the insertReviews() function before to simulate answering cards programmatically? I’m not able to find much information online regarding it (perhaps because it is relatively new). I am not confident enough in my knowledge of Anki’s review algorithm to attempt replicating its behavior on all 9 of the required inputs for each review (see the 'Manual Analysis' subsection here); wanted to reach out here to see if anyone had experience with the function they would like to share.

I do however create all my decks in Emacs' Org mode using louietan/anki-editor and export to Anki via the plugin FooSoft/anki-connect. This way I never worry about my decks getting corrupted. I actually just have one large deck but anki-editor allows me to separate my deck into separate org files which is convenient.

Another tool I've used if you have the Anki app is the Anki-Connect plugin https://github.com/FooSoft/anki-connect

It supports curl, python, javascript, etc to add cards and supports an incredible amount of actions to interact with Anki.

Example:

Just to add a footnote to the above: I wasn't aware of https://foosoft.net/projects/anki-connect/ so what I'm thinking about is very doable right now, and probably being done.

I've made a small script to make cards with audio. Following the manual at https://foosoft.net/projects/anki-connect/, I have an audio field of:

I dont think there's a public/documented Ankiweb api. You could use AnkiConnect to interface with your locally running instance of Anki: https://foosoft.net/projects/anki-connect/

Read the AnkiConnect documentation. You can interact with AnkiConnect in any language environment you wish. I've mostly - but not exclusively - used Python. It would probably be a very forgiving way to begin.

I write my cards in plaintext (Emacs Org mode via anki-editor) and push them to Anki via anki-connect. The advantages for me are:

create Anki cards with Emac's anki-editor and push them to Anki with anki-connect. There is also a markdown equivalent of anki-editor if you prefer that format plus packages to perform your SRS within Emacs itself such as org-drill, org-fc and pamparam.
