README

Anki add-ons

Two Anki add-ons I wrote for problems that were bothering me. Neither has any third-party dependency, only the Python standard library and Anki's own APIs.

Add-on Problem Platform Install
AirPods: fix audio dropouts Audio clipping and dropping out on AirPods during review. macOS AnkiWeb, code 676963607
All your due cards in one deck Reviews scattered across many decks. All AnkiWeb, code 1393821859

Installing

Tools β†’ Add-ons β†’ Get Add-ons in Anki, then paste the code. To run from source, copy the add-on's folder into your addons21/ directory and restart.

Building

./build.sh                      # both
./build.sh bt_audio_keepalive   # one of them

This checks the manifest, then writes a .ankiaddon with meta.json, user_files/ and the caches left out.

Working on these

CONVENTIONS.md covers the code and STYLE.md covers anything a user reads. python3 check.py enforces what can be enforced.

Support

Buy me a coffee if one of these saved you some trouble. I am also available for commissioned Anki add-on work.
