Implementing the Helper add-on's features

[Expertium]

@dae I’m basically making this issue to ask about your plans to implement the following features from the Helper add-on:

1. Advance and Postpone
2. Load Balancing
3. Disperse Siblings
4. Easy Days
5. Add-on stats from “Stats”

I would like you to provide an estimate of when said features will be implemented natively. If you do not plan to implement a certain feature, please explain why.

It was discussed a bit last year.

How to use the next-generation spaced repetition algorithm FSRS on Anki?

The helper add-on hasn’t been obsolete. Dae said that: I would like to integrate Free Days in the future, and maybe advance/postpone/load balancing at a later date (some thought will be required to ensure they are efficient, and don’t result in the entire collection’s cards being synced each time the user uses them). I’m not so sure about sibling dispersal, and will need to give that more thought.

Discussion about the next step of FSRS integration

The next update is tentatively slated for 23.12. An option to optimize all presets at once is likely. I probably won’t have time to look into other features like postpone/advance until early 2024.

Well, it’s early 2024 right now.

Before looking into these I first want to get to some typescript/editor changes that have been waiting for longer.

Btw, I noticed that recently a lot of people have been interested in using Easy Days. Perhaps that should be the first feature (among add-on features) to implement.
