I would love to contribute to Anki, especially learning that it's Rust. I know Anki's time-based space repetition is highly effective for long-term learning, but I've found it frustrating when I or my friends really just needed to cram the night before an exam.

When I am strongly constrained in the time-domain, I've found the older Leitner method to be the most efficient. I also have a lot of difficulty performing this in Anki except by resorting to absurd time controls and manual resets that are difficult to explain to friends.

I'd love to provide Anki with a strict Leitner mode for last-minute cramming. I'm just not sure the Anki project would support this, as I've seen them be fairly dismissive of it in the past.

It's very exciting that this is in Rust.

i thought anki was written in python - was it re-written in rust?

It's in the process of being migrated to a Python/Rust hybrid. Most of the backend is now rust-based: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/tree/master/rslib

I guess Anki Desktop is now being rewritten in Rust, according to 'DAllison in the parent comment.
