πŸ” Note Preview for Anki (Obsidian-Style Hovercards)

Anki Version License: MIT Pure Vanilla JS

Bring Obsidian-style interactive page, section, and block previews straight into your Anki review sessions. Hover over any wikilink to instantly peek into notes, specific headings, bullet points, or reference images without cluttering your cards or interrupting your review flow.


✨ Features

  • ⚑ Instant Hover Previews: Hover over any link to peek at specific sections, diagrams, or entire cards without breaking your review flow.
  • πŸ” Flexible Linking: Link to cards naturally by Title (with smart search) or by permanent Note ID so links never break when renamed.
  • 🎯 Block References (^tag): Tag individual bullet points, paragraphs, or images with ^tag to preview just that item without creating huge headers.
  • 🌳 Outline-Aware: Previewing a bullet point automatically includes all of its indented sub-bullets and lists.
  • πŸ”„ Nested Popovers: Open previews inside previews without losing your placeβ€”hovering back to the parent neatly closes the child.
  • πŸ“ Smart Positioning: Popups automatically flip above or below your text and adapt to your screen size so they never run off-screen.
  • 🎨 Automatic Dark & Light Mode: Seamlessly matches your active Anki theme with zero setup.
  • βš™οΈ Easy Visual Settings: Tweak popup sizes, font size, and hover timing from a dedicated menu under Tools $\rightarrow$ Note Preview Settings....
