Could you be specific? What are the problems with the codebase?
I've found that as a user, there are some really powerful features in Anki. The distinction between notes and cards wasn't clear to me at first, but once I discovered it, it allowed me to create some really useful decks. Being able to create multiple cards, with HTML and CSS styling, testing various elements of the same note is really nice.
- burtonator 7y agoSome of it has to do with the code base but some the UI. Anki sync is slow, often requires full re-sync. I also don't like how a lot of the core functionality has to be implemented via plugins. This is being too negative though. Anki is great. Nothing is perfect. It has a lot of features that nothing else out there has. It's kind of like an old and reliable battleship that can't be sunk. (I mean this in a good way).
- thepete2 7y agoIt's too tightly coupled, doesn't really follow best practices and is barely documented. When I wanted to improve it, it just wasn't very inviting :/ Fully agree with your 2nd paragraph though
- Shorel 7y agoThe fact that `sudo apt install anki` doesn't work out of the box is enough of a problem for me. Ok, the install works, but the software never runs. This is one of the reasons my laptop is booting into Windows more often than into Linux these days.
- asymmetric 7y agoThis has nothing to do with Anki though right? It’s the package maintainers you should be talking to.
