Major upgrades to Anki in v.23.10 - Includes support for FSRS and built in image occlusion - eviltoast

For those that aren’t familiar, Anki is a very popular multi-device flashcard app with spaced repetition. It’s one of those FOSS apps that’s fairly popular even outside the tech/FOSS community, and it is used by a lot of (most?) med students, pre-med students, etc. It’s definitely the best flashcard software out there.

This update is bigger than others because now image occlusion is built in, which is where you can build flashcards out of photos/screenshots by covering up parts of it. Super helpful for memorizing and practising with diagrams (ex. anatomy). Before you’d need an add-on for it (of which there are many, Anki has a pretty big add-on development community too)

    I agree! I almost didn’t use it years ago because of the UI, but I’m glad I did.

    On that note, the desktop UI has also improved a lot recently and so it shouldn’t scare off new users anymore
