Add the possibility for deck developers to update the deck without making people losing progress

Something like a subscription where if you update the deck the subscribed people automatically see the update and can either decide to reset the updated cards to new or keep them like they are. Right now if a deck developer wants to update the deck everyone have to go through a non-user friendly process

Wasn't there an add-on that already did this?

This would be a nice add on, not sure if it should be built into the system...

Ive never found an add on that does this properly

I made reddit post about ease hell some time ago:


Most importantly:

  • - Adhere to the 20 Rules. You don't need to be religious with that, but it really helps make a serious effort.


On the technical side:

  • - "Avoid ease hell" (use the easy button more, and don't use hard)
  •  - watch "Guide to Anki Intervals and Learning Steps" on youtube
  •  - Consider the add-on ReMemorize.
  •  - Advantage: It essentially gives can give you a 'super-easy' and a 'piece-a-cake' button
  •  - Disadvantage: More options lead to more decision fatigue
  •  - Consider the add-on Straight Reward
  • - Consider the add-on AvgEase
  • - go for 80-85% retention, not 90%
  •  - Consider adjusting your 'new interval after a lapse' with this add-on
  • - Increase your leech threshold, esp. for less important decks.

This feature was built into the original SM2, it's called the Easy Button (minus the ease bonus added by Anki).


On a side note, I never understood why I needed to double clutch when I down shift to 3rd gear, but that has never prevented me from taking the corner. So screw the overpaid engineer and his silly little flow charts back by statistics and mathematics. If this is what the people voted for, then this is what should be implemented.
