Anki as a knowledge base (with a "massive cloze note")

It can’t look exactly like the normal cloze note type for several reasons (mainly the scroll functionality), but I updated it to be more plain by default:

Changes

  • Remove all color functionality
    • I had forced this upon you without it being requested and never explained how to use it.
  • Simplify styling
    • The default style is now as plain as reasonably achievable.
    • I commented some variables and left definitions you can tweak on top.
    • CSS that is meant to be preserved for the note type to work is now minified.
  • Extra information is now blurred on the backside, not completely hidden
    • it can be revealed by
      • scrolling
      • clicking/touching anywhere
      • hitting Tab (key can be changed, search for “keydown” in the code)
  • Demo deck contains fewer notes (one for each method).
  • AnkiMobile is now supported.
    • Header stays fixed now.
    • Some buggy visuals on card flipping have been observed on my old iPad.

@01101 I left the default accent color blue as this is what most people are used to. If you want the clozes to be green, you can use something like #04aa6d for the variable --accent-color. Please let me know if this is any better.
