It also features a database of user-contributed decks[1] on various topics.
That said, I don’t know whether AnkiWeb could be used completely without the accompanying desktop or mobile app.
For example, as I'm using Anki mostly for learning words in foreign languages I read in articles/books, I want to remove a friction of adding a word to the deck, ideally making it a single click action. As the very least, I want Anki to add an entry into contextual menu in my iOS/MacOS system, and that's not currently possible.
Another thing – I'm willing to write a better cross-platform UI (using Flutter, for example), without reimplementing the whole codebase. Actually, I tried this once in 2010 while making Anki version for Nokia N900 (Maemo/Linux, using PyQT), and the code was quite a mess and quite hard to port.
Not to mention that I love to recommend apps that work for me, and Anki for iOS costs almost prohibitively high price of ~25$ (for whatever beliefs Anki author has about iOS users), which makes it a no-go for recommendations.
I wish there was a standardised set of protocols/formats for decks/cards and spaced repetition apps.
A suggestion would be to enable adding pictures in the Answer part of the card
Also, another suggestion would be to enable some kind of formatting of the text in the cards, in case you're trying to remember steps to a recipe, algorithm or something else.
Really good job again, love the extension :)
