Jul 1, 2024July 2024 summary for ankidroid/Anki-Android focused on UX-driven feature delivery to improve inline editing workflows. Delivered NoteEditor integration into CardBrowser to enable in-view, large-screen editing with reduced context switching. Implemented a unified NoteEditor menu inside CardBrowser and added an automatic hide/show behavior so the NoteEditor frame is hidden when a deck is empty, reducing clutter. This set of changes enhances editor accessibility, speeds up note creation/modification, and maintains a clean UI when decks have no content.
