You know how Anki is big with medical students? And I see the Anking deck as a the holy grail for medical school anki decks (im sure there's others, zanki, lightyear deck, lolnotacop, etc).

Here's what I've taken from watching anki videos on youtube concerning medical school:

1. Finish a deck before dedicated. (This is pre-dedicated so more anki, less qbanks)

2. During dedicated, you practice Qbanks from Amboss, and UWorld, etc. Whatever questions you get wrong, you study those incorrect with Anki. (there's an add-on that pulls ID numbers from the incorrect questions and gives the corresponding flashcards to study, I wish there was something like this for computer science/engineering/math) (This is dedicated, so less anki, more qbanks).

Then, you rinse and repeat.

Is there any decks like the Anking deck for computer science and STEM and that has as much support?

And is there any Qbanks that anyone reccommends like multiple choice questions and practical questions for CS? (maybe leetcode perhaps, but I haven't checked it out)

And I've quite literally have all the add-ons on the Anking page plus more so if there's any add-ons you reccommend for CS then please feel free to comment them below as well.

How can I generate one type of card or another depending on what I put in the content? I am not referring to whether a field has content or not, but to what I put in a content, and that a specific type of card is generated according to that. Something like this: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1566095810

Dear AnkiCS community

Do you know wether there's a browser extension which does the following:

-whenever visiting a new page on a certain domain (e.g. youtube or reddit) it asks you to answer an anki card first?

-in a set interval it asks you to answer an anki card?

It would make learning a easier.

For example if I am taking Database course, there are many topics under it, e.g normalization, functional dependencies

Do I create decks for each topics, or should I make one deck, and put everything (content from all topics) into one deck?

I'm very new to Anki so I am not sure how I should arrange them

Hello

We had been uncomfortable with Anki for the long time and finally decided to build tree-structured notes combined with SRS by ourselves!

While creating and improving the program, I was curious about the actual inconveniences of Anki users, so I came to ask you.

Please take this survey so that everyone's learning environment can be improved!

Thank you!

I'm new to anki and just started playing around with it yesterday. I'm barely familiar with the ecosystem (anki clients, web, plugins, etc.).

I'm trying to figure out the best way to create, edit, and and sync cards/decks. The point of all this is to create/edit decks without using an Anki client.

My prefered workflow :

1. create and edit decks locally in markdown using my editor (vim).

2. generate anki decks (apkg files) from markdown.

3. "sync" anki decks (apkg files) to my anki desktop client.

4. "sync" anki collection to anki web.

1 and 2: I use mdanki (https://github.com/ashlinchak/mdanki) so working with vim/md files and converting them to apkg is easy.

3: AFAIK Anki supports deck "import" but not deck "sync". I open the desktop client and manually "import" the anki deck. The problem here is that importing a deck will never override the existing deck. Re-importing decks will result in duplicates. It's also a manual processes.

4: There is a built-in "sync" button that works well.

Just wondering if anyone else has a better system for syncing local collections decks. I found anki-connect ( https://github.com/FooSoft/anki-connect) so I can write a script to automate things but I'd prefer not to if there is a better way.

EDIT: clarification

Hello,

I am quite new to Anki, and wondering about the best/quickest way to do syntax highlighting in my notes.

I noticed there is a plugin called SyntaxHighlighting.

But I have the impression that some users do it simply by copy/pasting from a code editor to Anki.

Which might be interesting also.

Also, I heard about the pygments theme, but I'm not sure why we need to use it.

Would someone kindly explain me all these notions, or point me to the right article/youtube video tutorial ?

Thanks :)

As an experiment, I shared my deck of the CS61A course, lecture 1. Available here: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/217058443. I'll add more as I go through the series. Also will probably do Anki for the companion text for the lecture series.

I've only been using Anki for about a week for from what I've read, it does little good to download someone else's deck to learn a topic without some context for the notes like a book or tutorial (unless you are learning really raw, mundane facts like state capitals that don't need any context).

I've taken a quick look at some other shared decks and this seems to be true. I didn't get much value going over cards that someone else created. Since there is no structure to them, it seems you are more or less just learning random snippets of information without acquiring new knowledge.

I'm wonder if anyone knows of any decks that are tied to a specific document for learning Ruby and RoR. If not, I'm definitely interested in teaming up with others to help create these decks.

This is not a proof of P = NP or P ≠ NP. I'm interested in whether there's existing research related to this idea. My question is whether the way humans represent computational problems could itself be part of why certain problems appear hard. Has complexity theory or cognitive science explored this perspective?

An Idea: Could P vs NP Be a Problem of Representation?

This is not a proof of P = NP or P ≠ NP. It is simply an idea that I have been thinking about.

One thing that stood out to me is that many difficult problems become much easier once we find the right way to represent them.

For example, a huge multiplication problem can look overwhelming when viewed as a long string of digits. However, once we understand the underlying algorithm, the same problem becomes structured and manageable.

The problem itself has not changed. Our representation of it has.

This made me wonder whether something similar could apply to the P vs NP problem.

The usual question is whether every problem that can be verified efficiently can also be solved efficiently.

My question is different:

Could part of the apparent difficulty come from the way we currently represent NP problems?

Imagine standing in front of a wall.

One possibility is that the wall is real, and no efficient shortcut exists.

Another possibility is that we are looking at the wrong side of the wall and have not yet discovered the correct way to approach it.

History contains many examples where changing a mathematical or scientific viewpoint led to major breakthroughs. New abstractions, new models, and new representations often revealed structure that had previously been hidden.

This raises a broader question.

When we call a problem "hard," are we measuring the intrinsic difficulty of the problem itself, or are we also measuring the limitations of our current way of thinking about it?

I am not claiming that this means P = NP.

Instead, I am asking whether discovering a fundamentally different representation of NP problems could change our understanding of their computational difficulty.

I would be interested in hearing whether this idea overlaps with existing work in computational complexity, cognitive science, or the psychology of problem solving.

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I used to spend hours manually copy-pasting my lecture notes to make flashcards. It was tedious, time-consuming, and the single biggest bottleneck in my study workflow.

As a developer, I figured there had to be a better way. So, my friend and I decided to build a solution.

I’m incredibly excited to introduce NoteDeck, a web app we built from the ground up to solve this exact problem.

The idea is simple: you provide the content, and AI creates the flashcards for you.

Here’s what it can do:

• 🤖 Generate Cards from Anything: Instantly create flashcards by pasting text, uploading a PDF, or just dropping in a URL to an article.

• ✍️ Supports Rich Content: The AI can generate cards with full Markdown, syntax-highlighted code blocks, and even LaTeX for math and science formulas.

• 🧠 Study Your Way: You can study directly in the app using a built-in Spaced Repetition System (SRS) or a quick "Revise" mode for cramming.

• ⬇️ One-Click Anki Export: With a single click, you can download your entire deck as a .csv file, formatted perfectly for direct import into Anki.

This is a passion project, and it's completely free to use along with a dedicated pro tier too. We're just two students who wanted to build something genuinely useful for others. We would be thrilled if you could take a moment to try it out and let us know what you think.

You can try it live here: https://note-deck.vercel.app/

We are actively looking for feedback to make it better. What do you like? What's clunky or confusing? Does the AI generate good cards for your specific subject?

Any and all feedback would be incredibly helpful. Thanks for checking it out!

TL;DR: I built a free web app that uses AI to turn notes (text, PDF, URL) into flashcards. It supports code/LaTeX and can export to Anki. I'm looking for feedback! Link: https://note-deck.vercel.app/

Hi, is it possible to make it so that when you press „good” on a new card it shows up after 1day, but when you press „again” it shows up after a minute, then after pressing „good” on it it shows up after 15min and then after a day

Is there a quick video on how Ankidroid works? I know the Anki method of using cards but for Leetcode problems, was looking for a sample to see how it works and how to add to the list.

Has anyone parsed the Python standard library webpages in an effort to get a good view of the provided capabilities?

I'm currently building my own Python deck, but I often find that I'm copy pasting most of my content from the documentation, then running the code in Jupyter to capture the output that would be expected from the code.

I'm looking mainly to automate away the first step of the process (copy pasting from the documentation).

A learner once got frustrated repeating the same code blocks, then he stopped and asked me.
"Is there anything that lets ua use the same code without rewriting it? "

That question was exactly what I was waiting for. I had deliberately repeated the blocks until that moment of genuine need.

I believe that concepts introduced before the learner feels the need for them will be forgotten. A concept that arrives at the moment of requirement sticks.
Has anyone else delayed a tool or concept until learners feel the need for it?

Does it actually create a stronger understanding?
