It would be cool if the whiteboard toggle could be remembered for specific decks or card type or maybe even tags. For example, say if I’m studying Japanese and get a Production card, it could automatically enable the whiteboard by default. Then if the next card is a Recognition card, it could automatically disable the whiteboard. I’m thinking this would be just remembered based on the last time you used the card—though that might be problematic since I eg regularly turn off the note type, which would ruin the point; and an extra button to toggle the default whiteboard toggle for the notetype seems like it’d be overly complex. Maybe based on whether you toggle the whiteboard before you start interacting the card?—seems too mysterious for the user to figure out if they wanted to deliberately change the default.
Hm… the only reason I want to turn off the whiteboard is to a) scroll and to b) press the media buttons and other buttons and links. Thus, another way of accessing those two things without necessarily turning off the whiteboard might be more useful. Potentially:
- allow buttons to be pressed even if the whiteboard is on
- the “replay audio” button could have a submenu for selecting which button
- whiteboard passthrough mode that reverts back when you tap/swipe. maybe via long press
For scrolling:
- toolbar buttons for page up and down
- I should use html savviness to make cards that reflow to fit on one screen; also eg click to full screen images, like some funky notetypes that people have made (but that means I have to be able to tap) (though there always need to be scrolling if there’s just too much information)
No concrete suggestion, but I haven’t seen this topic discussed before so maybe we can start a discussion about it
