Major bugs fixed: - FSRS crash fix when config is incomplete: safely accessed preset_desired_retention to prevent crash when FSRS configuration is not fully present. Commit: 37f78725654fd323b992f480a9a1b78b84c3ee70. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Expanded network compatibility and user choice, reducing setup friction and enabling operation in restricted networks, improving onboarding and first-use experience. - Improved app responsiveness and reliability for AnkiConnect through AppNap control, enhancing user experience during idle periods. - Increased stability of scheduling (FSRS) and reduced risk of crashes, contributing to more predictable performance. - Streamlined release and localization processes, accelerating deployments and improving localization quality. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Cross-language integration (Swift, Python, C) for system-level features. - Network proxy integration for version fetching (SOCKS proxy support). - Defensive programming and robust config handling for reliability. - Release engineering, localization workflows, and build tooling management. Business value: - Lower support burden due to fewer setup issues, broader network compatibility, and more reliable scheduling and releases, leading to higher user satisfaction and retention.
