Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Question about note types when creating decks with genanki
I'm working with ChatGPT to create python scripts that generate Anki decks with Genanki.
-
Learning Streets with the help of Google Street View?
Use genanki to create a note for each street, and then two cards (name, direction -> gif, and gif -> name, direction) for each note.

Supercharged Studying with Anki, ChatGPT and Python
Anki has many types of cards, the main ones being the basic (memory trigger + answer) and cloze (one or more memory triggers embedded in an outline). This example uses the basic and reversed card, because both the 'question' and 'answer' can be a memory trigger for each other; if you want a simple, basic card you should consult the example at Genanki's README. I hope this script serves as at least a starting point for your own applications of programmable Anki, it is probably my main study method nowadays, and it got a whole more powerful after ChatGPT. Have fun with your coding.

Add recommendation for Exporting my cards as a CSV and then importing after making changes?
If you want to do something really custom you may want to look at something like https://github.com/kerrickstaley/genanki (I haven't tried it).

Anki-Fy Your Life
Many people consider the prep time to be valuable itself as it usually involves you gaining understanding. That said, I don't really buy that argument and the vast majority of my cards these days are auto-generated using https://github.com/kerrickstaley/genanki.

AutoClozemaster-Anki - A tool to autogenerate clozemaster style anki decks
It makes use of these frequency lists (have to be manually downloaded). It will make a request to the tatoeba api to grab a sentence (or multiple) including this word and if you would like it will also request an audio file from google translate (while the code is running a temporary recordings folder is created). It then packages it up into an anki deck using the genanki python module.
-
I typed an entire vocabulary book
In the end I feed the data together with audio to another script that generate the Anki deck using genanki.
-
Assimil italian into Anki deck (resourse)
Yes, it's actually pretty easy to automate the process with genanki.

Show HN: Generate Anki cards from online links, powered by GPT-3
Since it looks like the export to Anki is still in progress, I can recommend using https://github.com/kerrickstaley/genanki -- it's been very stable over the 2 years I've been using it. I think it's a much better solution than csv or AnkiConnect, since it requires no actual work from the user except for opening an apkg.

Ask HN: Better way to create Anki cards?
If you're comfortable with Python, https://github.com/kerrickstaley/genanki is amazing. You can pull your content from any source, use templates for the question and answer format, and even add media to each card (image, audio).

Anki – Powerful, intelligent flash cards
> I wonder what the ecosystem would look like if things were otherwise.
Shameless plug - I'm building https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive which is basically GitHub/Reddit for flashcards. Very much pre-product and a WIP, though the offline client proof of concept is done.

Lessons from building GitHub code search [video]
I also enjoyed the Treesitter talk from 5 years ago by Max Brunsfeld https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jes3bD6P0To
I'm currently building a query language whose grammar is very much inspired by Github's search syntax. I'm using Lezer, which is a GLR like Treesitter, so this talk learned me some parser generators (I've no formal CS education). Here's my grammar, a playground, and an example search query if anyone wants to play with it
https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive/blob/main/app/src/quer...
https://littletools.app/lezer
-(a) spider-man -a b -c -"(quote\\"d) str" OR "l o l" OR a b c ((a "c") b) tag:what -deck:"x y"

Using spaced repetition systems to see through a piece of mathematics
Not really. There are options for sharing cards on Anki https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/14j2jfy/deck_sharing_... but their collaboration features are limited.
I myself am building an Anki clone https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive with collaboration built in as a first class citizen, though its far from primetime. Currently stewing on how to get the SR algorithm, FSRS, to compile to wasm.

Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive
A free, open source, local-first, spaced repetition system that works offline, has p2p syncing, plugins, and first class support for collaboration. It's GitHub/Reddit for flashcards.
I basically took Anki and turned it into a webapp >_>

Things you forgot because of React
I find Solid's model pretty damn close to "compiling down to nothing". I chose Solid for my project because I wanted to support plugins that used other UI frameworks. I recently got a Svelte plugin working with the SolidJS router. I could probably make it prettier... but it's literally a call to Solid's `createComponent` with the Router and an anchoring div to which the Svelte component is mounted. Ezpz.

An open source web-based flashcard studying system
I'm also building an Anki clone (sigh) that I'm calling "Github for flashcards".
>A free, open source, local-first, spaced repetition system that works offline, has p2p syncing, plugins, and first class support for collaboration.
https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive
Very much a WIP, completely unusable, but I recently made a video demoing the technical proof of concept.

Anki-Fy Your Life
Anki, imo, already has an open algorithm (that the user can change via plugins), universal interfaces, and is "self-hosted". My eyes perked up at REST api, but it doesn't look like there's a centralized server that hosts shared cards, which is where my mind went.
I'm building https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive/ which is basically Anki + Reddit - people can optionally upload their cards for others to download, and the most popular cards rise to the top. It's FLOSS, offline-first, supports plugins and p2p syncing, and is very much a WIP. My proof of concept is almost done though, which demos the critical technologies in a secure way.

A Gentle Introduction to CRDTs
I'm using cr-sqlite right now in my Anki clone: https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive
It's basically an offline-first flashcard webapp. CR-Sqlite allows for incremental syncing.
With Anki (the app from which I'm taking my inspiration), syncing is _not_ incremental - basically it just copies SQLite files around. So for example, the app could be on an iPhone with cards a card `A` reviewed, but the app on an iPad could make changes to the template on which card `A` is based, and that's enough to cause a conflict - you must take changes from only the iPad or only the iPhone. (To be clear - Anki does have some incremental syncing capabilities - I'm picking an intentionally pathological example.) CR-SQLite will mean that everything is incremental, however.
Basically makes 3 way merges a breeze (or n-way merges, really).

Ask HN: What Are You Working on This Year?
A FLOSS, offline-first, spaced repetition system that has first class support for collaboration, curation, and plugins. It's Reddit for flashcards.
https://github.com/AlexErrant/Pentive
I've been thinking about this for a stupid amount of time... thinking that someday someone's going to improve on Anki. Finally got tired of it and said that person's me.
What are some alternatives?
CrowdAnki - Plugin for Anki SRS designed to facilitate cooperation on creation of notes and decks.
fsrs4anki - A modern Anki custom scheduling based on Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler algorithm
anki - Anki's shared backend and web components, and the Qt frontend
mycelite - Mycelite is a SQLite extension that allows you to synchronize changes from one instance of SQLite to another.
