May 1, 2026May 2026: ankitects/anki delivered two targeted stability and usability improvements with a focus on FSRS configurability and Deck Options reliability. Key accomplishments include exposing a JavaScript API to customize the unlock speed for FSRS parameters (setParameterUnlockClickTimeoutMs) and adding a fallback for startMemorized in Deck Options to prevent console errors. Both changes were validated through local checks (ninja check) and manual verification of unlock behavior and console noise. These updates enhance user study flow, reduce potential support friction, and improve consistency across the deck options UI.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 (2026-04): Delivered a corrected Efficiency Ratio Graph for Memorized Cards in ankitects/anki by implementing a new calculation that accounts for memorized cards and reflects relative knowledge gain per study time. This fixes the previous flaw where the graph overstated total knowledge and provides a more actionable efficiency signal. The change, driven by commit 922953acf4638435b5daf5c6657eacaa957c72e6, leverages community feedback (forum discussion) to invert the graph so higher values indicate greater efficiency. Business value: clearer insights into study efficiency, enabling users to optimize study time; technical achievements: robust data modeling, algorithm rewrite, and improved UX signals.

May 1, 2025May 2025 — ankitects/anki: Focused on UI polish, reliability, and retention accuracy. Delivered two major features: UI polish and accessibility improvements (stabilized CardCounts hover, prevented textarea resize for params input, improved about page spacing with non-breaking spaces) and retention warning system enhancement with workload recalibration to provide clearer feedback on retention targets. Fixed two critical bugs: SQL data retrievability underflow (saturated subtraction with explicit casts) and Leech tooltip accuracy (correctly indicating suspended cards in leech/onLeech). Overall impact: improved UI consistency and accessibility, more actionable retention guidance, and stronger data correctness, contributing to lower support tickets and better decision making. Technologies/skills demonstrated: UI accessibility improvements, defensive arithmetic and data correctness, retention/workload recalibration logic, and careful integration with the v3 scheduler and tooltip systems.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Delivered user-facing improvements and stability enhancements for FSRS and deck options in ankitects/anki. Implemented a range slider to configure 'easy days' in deck options, replacing radio buttons and aligning the UI with updated table headers and borders. Enhanced FSRS UX with a clearer 'no reviews to optimize' message and refined optimization logic to avoid unnecessary blocking. Fixed FSRS simulator input issues to support zero for Additional new cards, ensure New cards/day defaults from config, and stabilized interval/default values, while reverting a localization change. Extended FSRS visualization by adding a memorized option in the simulation graph and updating the fsrs crate to support the new subgraph.
