Skip Cards Add-on

Anki Add-ons
1

Hello, guys! I’ve created an add-on that allows users to skip cards and review them after all the other cards are done.

It is simple, but helpful. I’d love to get some feedback.

Thanks!

How is this different from burying the cards? I checked the code on GitHub and didn’t see a difference (and skipped cards are never shown at the end of the session)

I was trying to do something similar. I found this old addon that seemed to do the trick (defer/postpone card for later today (selective bury and unbury)), but I wanted to tag the files instead of leaving them in short term memory.

I seemed to get it to work on my version using the help of google gemini since I am far from a programmer (did basic python classes online just for fun).

I am curious as to whether or not this code is decent and worth sharing.
