  • I created a program that finds out which anki cards out of 50_000 are in english and deletes them in 2 minutes
    3 projects | /r/rust | 23 Oct 2023
    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.
  • Ankiconnect: insertReviews() function
    1 project | /r/Anki | 12 May 2023
    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.
  • Org-Drill vs Anki?
    6 projects | /r/AnkiComputerScience | 21 Oct 2022
    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.
  • Ask HN: Better way to create Anki cards?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Aug 2022
    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:

  • Show HN: SkillPress – Learn JavaScript via spaced repetition and active recall
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Jul 2022
    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.
  • Anki Connect: [Errno 13] Permission denied when try to add audio
    1 project | /r/Anki | 16 Jul 2022
    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:
  • Doing cards outside of Anki apps?
    4 projects | /r/Anki | 16 Jul 2022
    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/
  • Filtering A deck of cards based on a list in Excel?
    1 project | /r/Anki | 17 May 2022
    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.
  • anki cards -> storage method? also how to be efficient? 🤨
    2 projects | /r/Anki | 11 May 2022
    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:
  • PDF Note Style UI/UX in Remnote
    5 projects | /r/ObsidianMD | 3 May 2022
    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.
