Wait - we can run the Anki program on a Chromebook now?
Not just via the Chrome browser version via https://ankiweb.net/decks
but really the anki program?

That would be a break through for all our students with chromebooks.
We made them buy Chromebooks with additional memory, so they could install programs via Linux. But so far nobody managed to install the Anki program.

Android apps (so, AnkiDroid) have been running on Chromebooks for many years, as far as I’m aware

The work we put in makes the app look better on larger screens. 2.19 (and 2.20) have now been released and the work is live.

Sanjay’s report with screenshots is here: GSoC-Report/README.md at main · SanjaySargam/GSoC-Report · GitHub

Thanks!
