Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I’ve noticed that introducing new cards across all decks makes it more tiring to do your reviews. For example, I have a deck for japanese, a deck for German, a deck for Chinese and a deck for Geography. The issue is that reviewing a small set of new cards from each deck each day is much more tiresome than having a day in which I introduce a lot of cards in some specific field, as having a focused session in which I introduce all these cards is more effective.
As an example, I study German on mondays so it makes sense to add cards on mondays and having a focused session in which I learn all my new cards in the German deck.
Another example: on weekends I only want to review, I don’t want to see any new cards.
The problem is that there is no way to asign new cards to specific days of the week and I have to keep track manually of all the new cards and set them to 0 on specific days.
Describe the solution you’d like
A menu in the deck presets that lets you set different new review limits on different week days.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered
Having a description on each deck that says “20 new cards on Mondays”, making all decks defaults to 0 and using custom study.
That’s what I’m doing right now ! As I described I have a description on each deck that says when to add new cards but I think that having a scheduler would be a nice feature.
Ah, I thought that you were setting to 0 on all days other than Monday, that’s why I suggested this.
The usecase might be limited for this however, so this might not be a top priority for them.
As an example: Imagine the days monday to friday are quite busy due to your job, uni, school, ect. – you have enough time to do your reviews, but most of the time learning new additional cards wouldn’t be possible due to time constraints.
On the weekend, however, you have enough time to introduce more new cards in addition to the reviews you have.
You can solve this already with the current Deck Options → Daily Limits. But without the proposed feature you’d have to always manually set the Today only on weekends.
Having the proposed feature in Anki would marginally reduce the work the user has to do, in order to achieve this studying schedule.
