From what I can tell, this feature has been somewhat requested before. However, this is often alongside a slew of other “Gamification” requests. I’m not really interested in having Ankidroid be bloated with gamification or really even gamified at all, but I do think people would like this specific suggested addition.
I think it would be awesome if a little confetti effect played when you complete your cards. I know that Canvas and a few other (non-gamified) educational apps have this already (e.g. when you submit an assignment on time), and there’s a reason there’s like 10 different add-ons that do this on the Desktop version haha
Why I’m suggesting it be added directly to Ankidroid, is that there is no good equivalent to those desktop add-ons. Plus, a theoretical plugin for this seems almost overkill. Moreover, an alternative solution could be to just have more user-control over the completion pop-up, but a solution like that seems more complex.
I feel a good amount of people would like the addition of an optional confetti effect. It would play on the main menu when you complete a set of daily cards, or when you click on a completed deck! It’s a fun, minimal celebration to help motivate people. Moreover, it could be off by default, so it does not interfere with low-power devices (and again optional for people who don’t want it). There is already a little pop-up message that appears right when this would trigger. With this, users would now have an option to play a confetti effect with it too!
Life is hard, so why not have a small (optional) celebration of a daily achievement? ![]()
