Previously, I suggested the following UI changes (don’t mind that it says Hard - Good - Hard, I messed Easy up): [image] This would very clearly and unambiguously indicate which button is not like the others and solve the problem, so obviously, it was rejected by Dae. There are a few other ways: …

[image] Expertium: Dozens of people in this topic have proposed dozens of ideas and Dae has rejected every single one of them. I have already stated elsewhere that I think a 2 button mode is probably the best course forward, and I know you’ve already seen that, so your hyperbole is not helpfu…

Maybe the Hard, Good, Easy buttons can have different shades of green. Wouldn’t do anything, just be aesthetically pleasing. Instead of a huge gap that separates Again from Hard, there could just be a dashed light-grey line separating them instead? This could also work on Ankimobile by making the l…

Improving the reviewer UI would be ideal but so far there are no plans for development, so I think that displaying notifications as in proposal #3 by damonfernandez would be a realistic alternative: [image] damonfernandez: Notify users if their stats are abnormal, and therefore suggest that th…

I don’t know if anyone has done this before or if this is stupid, but can’t you use shigeyuki’s leaderboard addon too get a rough estimate on how many people are misusing hard?

That seems like a pretty niche edge case. I don’t think that most users misuse Hard because of this. Honestly, I think we should just give up. Dozens of people in this topic have proposed dozens of ideas and Dae has rejected every single one of them. Well, less of a “rejected” and more of a “didn’t…

It could still nontheless be helpful to change the numerical value to a string, just to make it more obvious even for people that don’t know the specifics (I mean it is the same as the shortcut defined in settings, but still).

[image] Expertium: Honestly, I think we should just give up. Dozens of people in this topic have proposed dozens of ideas and Dae has rejected every single one of them. In my opinion we need to recruit and a bit support volunteer developers for Anki for desktop. AnkiDroid has a donation syste…

Why is it so important to cater to users who are too dull-witted, uninvested, or clueless to look for and read documentation?
