Would anyone be interested in a social anki?

FWIW I'm building something from the ground up that'll have this sharing/social thang built in. I also (obviously) think that there's a need for collaborative tools for building and sharing cards, along with perhaps ways to publish your progress. For various reasons I'm not building it on Anki though.

• anki-connect

  Discontinued Anki plugin to expose a remote API for creating flash cards.

AnkiWeb doesn't have an API so you'd need to use something like https://foosoft.net/projects/anki-connect/

• CrowdAnki

  10 496 6.6 Python

  Plugin for Anki SRS designed to facilitate cooperation on creation of notes and decks.

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.

You're right, yeah. I'm not a techie. Here's the link to the repo, in case you're interested. I posted the deck in a thread on r/medicalschoolanki a while back.
