README
AutoSuspend
Automatically suspend old cards in Anki after a specified number of days.
AutoSuspend helps reduce daily review load by suspending cards in specified decks once they reach a set age.
Context
For context, I'm learning Japanese and I made this add-on for myself as I was getting tired of daily endless Anki reviews (1h+). All the time I'm spending reviewing old cards could be better spent immersing and hence being exposed to words while enjoying content. Of course, Anki is great and it works but I'm a bit sick of it now after years of use. The idea behind this add-on is to help me learn new words by reviewing them but only in a limited time window (1 week) such that I don't get overwhelmed by too many reviews. I see it as a little help to be more familiar with new words. After that, I can just encounter them in the wild and learn them naturally. It's ok if I forget them after a week, the idea is to focus on being exposed to words in context rather than memorizing them in Anki forever. If I get enough immersion, daily life is actually the most enjoyable SRS!
I was inspired by MattVsJapan's video to make this add-on.
