PROFILE

Jake Probst

Worked on the ankitects/anki repository, delivering features and fixes that enhanced scheduling, data visualization, and daily workflow reliability. Developed improvements to the Future Due Graph, integrating backlog data and refining filtering logic for accurate task visualization using TypeScript and graphing libraries. Addressed scheduling fairness by optimizing the load balancer in Rust, introducing nuanced algorithms for easy-day distribution and sibling card balancing. Implemented a Day Change Hook API in Python to signal daily transitions, supporting downstream analytics and plugin workflows. The work demonstrated a methodical approach to backend and frontend development, emphasizing maintainability, clear commit traceability, and user-focused problem solving.

Apr 1, 2026

April 2026 monthly summary for ankitects/anki: Delivered a Load Balancer Scheduling Enhancement to improve the distribution of sibling cards across review days by introducing a weighting system. The change expands balancing logic to consider siblings across presets, addressing a previous limitation and reducing clustering during sessions. This results in a more even daily workload, improved review efficiency, and a smoother learning curve for users.

Feb 1, 2025

February 2025 monthly summary for ankitects/anki focused on delivering a reliable Day Change Hook API (day_did_change) to signal daily transitions across the application. Implemented in main.py by comparing the current day's cutoff with the previous day's cutoff to trigger day-change events for downstream components, plugins, and scheduling. This work improves daily workflow reliability, analytics accuracy, and sets groundwork for future day-bound features.

Jan 1, 2025

Monthly summary for 2025-01 (ankitects/anki): Delivered enhanced easy-day scheduling with EasyDay levels by refactoring the scheduler and updating the load balancer to honor user-defined easy-day percentages. This work introduces an EasyDay enum (Minimum, Reduced, Normal) and enables nuanced scheduling and better alignment with study patterns. No major bugs fixed this month. This foundation strengthens personalization, user engagement, and future analytics. Technologies demonstrated include scheduler architecture refactor, enum design, and load-balancer aware scheduling, with full commit traceability.

Nov 1, 2024

November 2024 focused on delivering a high-value feature to improve task visualization and planning. Key feature delivered: Future Due Graph enhancements that include backlog cards and improved filtering to exclude buried cards, ensuring the graph accurately represents due cards including backlog data. The work is captured by commit 487b38b06c016310ecf78475a0a94db5d29f4fdb with the message 'include backlog cards in today in future due graph (#3379)'. There were no notable bug fixes recorded this month; the emphasis was on feature delivery and reliability of the visualization. Overall impact: users gain a more complete and reliable view of upcoming work, enabling better planning and prioritization across tasks and backlog. Technologies/skills demonstrated: data filtering and graph data modeling, backlog data integration, version control discipline, and clear, traceable change delivery.
