Anki widget for iOS 17 (now interactive)

[heptachlor]

iOS 17 will have interactive widgets. We could have an Anki widget for iOS that could show due cards from a preselected deck directly on the home screen, allowing you to quickly study without even opening the app.
The nice thing about this is that you can have widgets from other apps open at the same time, making the iOS experience similar to a desktop with multiple windows for Anki + supplemental information.

This idea was brought up before but was not possible at the time since you were not able to interact with the widgets:

Adding a widget for the iOS app

Hey, your app is great but sometimes I find it hard to practice daily. The recent iOS release (14.0) shipped with widgets support on the Home Screen, and I wish that Anki will implement such a widget. I’m thinking about displaying a card from a pre-selected deck, and it can be flipped from within the Lock Screen (without even entering the app). This way the user can review cards “on the go”. But maybe someone here would come up with a better concept. I will be glad to hear what do you think,…

Here is an example from Apple’s WWDC that shows how it works for Quizlet:

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll keep an eye on demand for this.
