When I was making my own deck for German, I had a pretty fancy pipeline for exporting things from a giant spreadsheet into anki [for me entering keywords in the app was super tricky - also because I want to double-check everything in a dictionary (and add information that may not be available on the fly, like gender/plural form/declensions) - the in-app note-adder/browser is IMO just not good enough for that kind of data manipulation/browsing. Assembling and maintaining the list of words was as much work as the revision (but also in its own way revision). It was amazing, but eventually the work-load got too much and I burned out (I had several lapses where I did complicated deck-manipulation to get things back under control) - though after probably more than a year of daily use I can still say it was very worth it. Now I’m using someone else’s deck for Latin (that goes with a book), and to say “I just want to revise the material from Chapter X” using tags/keywords/whatever is kinda futsy (you have to create a new temporary deck that has a keyword filter). But if you’re using software every day you can get used to kinks. It’s pretty amazing software.
