Just as the title says. I think the time until the next review should not be shown by default. In my opinion, and from what I have seen with my students who use Anki, they tend to use the time as a way to calibrate which button to press, but I think they often misjudge their own ability. So they se…

[image] suiyuan: In what sense? The time doesn’t really provide much useful information, afaik. Even when times are shown some people don’t get that Anki is scheduling cards for them and they will be shown learnt cards the next day. I have met at least one person who did got confused when she…

[image] sorata: And most people here are geeks. That’s exactly my point. Most Anki users, I think, never get to this forum, the ones here are the ones that will enjoy “stats for nerds”, all the info they can get on their screen and meddling with HTML and CSS. I might be wrong, but I beliebe …

[image] sorata: I have met at least one person who did got confused when she couldn’t review her cards anymore. Most of my students are like that. And they can see the time until next review. So that doesn’t help in understanding scheduling. In fact, that’s another point Anki could improve. …

I don’t know about desktop but AnkiDroid has a new congratulations screen except that it’s still in developer’s options. Apparently not everyone is satisfied with it.

[image] suiyuan: That’s fine, they could activate it if they really want to see it. The same can be said about those who don’t want to see it. You can create a survey to see people’s preferences. It seems to me that people who have to constantly face user problems underestimate the abilitie…

[image] suiyuan: The time doesn’t really provide much useful information, afaik. You’re not able to modify it and it might modify your assessment. This gives information about what the buttons are doing. Or at least a hint. The developers of Ankidroid want to go even further and visually sho…

[image] Keks: The same can be said about those who don’t want to see it. He is talking about new users. Particularly those who come from a non-technical background. The issue is more pertinent to the question of what should be shown to new users and what should be not. And a poll would not in…

[image] Keks: The same can be said about those who don’t want to see it. I understand what you say, but I believe the same can’t be said if we’re talking about new users. New/non-technical users won’t be able to change it easily. So the important thing here is to know what is better for non-t…

[image] suiyuan: What I am talking about is something I see every semester when I introduce Anki to my students, it’s not a guess on my part, these are issues “normal” users face routinely. By the way, what’s the demographics of your students? The age, how educated they are, male/female ratio…

[image] suiyuan: I understand what you say, but I believe the same can’t be said if we’re talking about new users. New/non-technical users won’t be able to change it easily. So the important thing here is to know what is better for non-technical users. The others, will be able to fix it without …
