Description

🔥 Turn your Review Heatmap into a Gamified Tracker! Do you love Glutanimate's amazing Review Heatmap, but wish your current streak stood out more from the rest of the calendar? This companion add-on adds a dynamic, visual reward system to your heatmap to keep you motivated and push you to break your own records! 🌟 How It Works Instead of blending in with your daily review volume, your Current Streak will now be highlighted with unique colors based on how long you have maintained it. The longer your streak, the more prestigious the color becomes. The Tier System: 🟠 Normal (0 - 19 days): Standard Orange. 🔵 Rare (20 - 39 days): Cyan Blue. 🟣 Epic (40 - 59 days): Deep Purple. 🟡 Legendary (60+ days): Glowing Gold. 🌈 GOD TIER (Record Breaker): If your Current Streak matches or surpasses your All-Time Longest Streak, the entire current streak line will transform into an Animated Wavy Rainbow. Breaking your personal best has never looked so satisfying! 🛠️ Technical Details & Safety Requires Original Add-on: This add-on does NOT replace the original Review Heatmap. You must have Review Heatmap installed for this to work. Non-Destructive Patch: This add-on operates as a safe, independent frontend script. It does not modify your Anki database, nor does it alter the core Python files of the original Review Heatmap. Update-Proof: Because it runs as a separate add-on, your rainbow streak logic will survive even if the original Review Heatmap gets updated by its author! Smart Detection: It intelligently reads the "Longest Streak" text directly from your heatmap stats to determine when you break a record, ensuring high performance without heavy database queries. 🎨 Customization If you know a little bit of coding, you can easily customize the colors and the day thresholds (20, 40, 60) by clicking View Files on this add-on and editing the CONFIG section inside the init .py file. ❤️ Credits Massive thanks to Glutanimate for creating the original Review Heatmap, which is a staple for the Anki community. This add-on is merely a visual CSS/JS patch applied on top of his fantastic work.
