Anki is a smart spaced repetition flashcard program

Instead of having required and unique flags for every field, enforce both requirements on the first field, and neither on the rest. This mirrors the subject/body format people are used to in note-taking apps. The subject defines the object being learnt, and the remaining fields represent properties of that object. In the past, duplicate checking served two purposes: it quickly notified the user that they're entering the same fact twice, and it notified the user if they'd accidentally mistyped a secondary field. The former behaviour is important for avoiding wasted effort, and so it should be done in real time. The latter behaviour is not essential however - a typo is not wasted effort, and it could be fixed in a periodic 'find duplicates' function. Given that some users ended up with sluggish decks due to the overhead a large number of facts * a large number of unique fields caused, this seems like a change for the better. This also means Anki will let you add notes as long as as the first field has been filled out. Again, this is not a big deal: Anki is still checking to make sure one or more cards will be generated, and the user can easily add any missing fields later. As a bonus, this change simplifies field configuration somewhat. As the card layout and field dialogs are a popular point of confusion, the more they can be simplified, the better. |
