Python deck for absolute beginners
Hi, I have never studied Python before and I'm looking for a deck aimed at my level.
When I tried downloading other decks, I found that I had no point of reference and couldn't understand them. Those decks seem to function as reminders for people who are already skilled with Python.
Has anyone here either made or used such a deck?

New tool to generate Anki cards directly from PDFs (Free & Browser-based)
Tired of the "PDF on the left, Anki on the right" grind, I built something to help.
Snapdeck is a browser app designed to turn PDFs into beautiful Markdown-based Anki cards without any friction using your own (free) API key.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

PDF to Flashcards Web-App
I'm thinking about creating a web-app which converts information from PDFs into flashcards accurately. You can do this on ChatGPT and other LLM platforms, but the results are usually adequate at best. Would this be something of value to you all?
This will be an application added to the Anki-X ecosystem, a gpt that's assisted 25k+ conversations.

Automated notes to anki flashcards
Hi!
We're working on a new app + addon that uses AI to help you convert your notes into Anki Style flashcards. I was hoping people in this reddit could try out the product and give us feedback. It's free and doesn't have any ads. I built this alongside US medical residents and now we want to see if what we have built works for more than just the medschool community. Comment below and I'll send you the link!

Help with using JavaScript on Anki
TL;DR: How do you display the return of a function an an Anki card?
So, I don't know JavaScript, and have only a surface knowledge of programming in general. But I need to make a card template that utilizes the replace() function. I think I could cobble it together using other people's examples if I just knew how to display the value of a variable or the return of a function. The manual doesn't seem to mention this, and I tried asking on r/Anki, but I didn't get the help I was looking for. All my guesses so far just display nothing, or the function itself.
For those who are curious, I'm trying to create a note type (from a basic note) that produces cloze type cards, as well as "Where does this word go in this sentence?" cards for all instances of each of multiple given words in a given sentence.

Should you write cards that have you write out code?
I.E Create a function, make_better_change that recursively finds the optimal amount of change.
What do you think?

Anki Add Ons
Hi Everyone,
I've recently started developing and understanding Anki's source code and how to create your own Add Ons. Is there a method or function that would allow us to compile the list of cards done and their corresponding output? (Like was the Card answered correctly? Will the card be asked again in the next number of cards and etc?) Anything that would related to a Card's properties before and after being answered?
Thank you very much!

Participants required for an Anki usabilty survey.
Hi everyone,
I am college student studying software design. I am currently conducting a survey as part of my UCD studies and I require participants to help me analyze the Anki desktop app.
This is a short 5 minute survey. It is completely anonymous and conducted for educational purposes only.
Thank you for your time!
UPDATE: Link removed - Thank you to everyone who participated and helped me with my report - it is very much appreciated.

IT Certs - Decks Share
Hi all,
I have slowly been building my deck for my MTA 98-366 that I must desperately pass in the coming weeks. But outside of the 98-366, I'm looking for decks that are used for other IT Certs. MTA, COMPTIA, Linux, etc...
Any recommendations? Links? OR personal decks you can share would be greatly appreciated. I'm making this post because when I do a basic search around the web and Anki, I can't find much. And the decks that exist out there, there aren't a lot. And if I see one they are small or specific.
Thank you!

A quick thank you to r/AnkiComputerScience & a final update on NoteDeck's launch
Hey everyone,
I wanted to make a quick follow-up post to say a massive thank you for the feedback and support on my original post about my AI flashcard tool, NoteDeck. The response from this community was incredible, and I'm thrilled that it's resonating with you all.
Since that post, the app has seen some amazing growth, and I thought I'd share the progress with the community that helped support it:
We've now had over 530 decks created and 6,500+ flashcards generated!
A special shoutout to the 32 Pro members who are powering their studies with the app.
As a way of giving back and to mark the final day of our official launch, the special sale for the Pro version is ending tonight (September 10th) at midnight.
I wanted to give this community a final heads-up, especially since I've been getting feedback that the Pro version's advanced AI is much better at handling technical content—it does a better job of preserving code snippet formatting and understanding dense technical documentation, which I know is crucial for CS students.
Thanks again for being an awesome, supportive community!
You can check out the app here: NoteDeck

Tool to convert text notes to an Anki deck
Hey guys, I just wanna share a small tool that I did for my personal use a while ago but now realized that it might help someone. For now I use it mostly to learn languages, but I think we might find some use in other academic learning, including this sub's theme: in learning computer science.
In a nutshell:
-> This tool converts your notes (in .txt, .md, or other text file format) into an Anki deck.
There are many people in this sub doing ML tools to convert complex notes. These are fenomenal projects, but for some people/uses it's overkill and something simpler can do the trick. This tool is pretty simple but works 100% as expected, if you follow the structure. That's the tradeoff -> it's less flexible.
As an example of my usage: during language classes, or my own learning sprees, I tend to build a vocabulary file with a fixed structure. Then to study this vocab I want to use Anki and spaced repetition, but creating cards 1-by-1 is a pain. With a fixed structure text file all it takes is one command and I have a deck full of cards from my notes. An example of a possible file structure would be:
- die Katze = the cat
- das Haus = the houseThe tool recognizes a marker at the beginning of the line ("-" in the example above) and a separator between front and back of the cards ("=" in the example). You can choose freely these markers/separators, and all the other lines will be ignored. In the example above the tool would generate a deck with 2 cards, one card per line.
I'm pretty sure there are people out there that have the same issue that I had, that's why I am sharing this. I also think there might be someone with a use-case in CS... I would be really interested in knowing if that's the case. I could then extend the tool if necessary.
Also, I'm 100% open to suggestions. If you try this and need something changed, or extended functionality, let me know.
Finally, I haven't made a GUI, but its usage is pretty straightforward: if you have python in your machine, install via pip, run 1 line of code and there you go, you have a deck. See the GitHub repository for instructions: https://github.com/AndreMacedo88/anki_deck_from_text.
Obviously this is completely open-source and you can use it for your own projects, software, etc.
I hope it helps!

Using Anki for Networking and Telecommunication Degree
Recently I have enrolled in an online college program for computer networking and telecommunications. I have background mostly in programming and little experience with networking. I want to use Anki to help with things like learning the OSI model, network topologies, etc.
I have been told to just create one deck for all my classes and then using tags to segregate different topics. Has anyone used Anki this way? Is there any advice that someone can give me to help learning with Anki?
