fun read. a few years ago i got pretty obsessed with boustrophedon script, which feels to me in a similar category. still feels like such an elegant solution to 'oh these lines are getting too long'. https://en.m.wikip

i use the python package genanki to accomplish this. I've found it to be extremely dependable -- just use the first field as a UUID and you're golden (future imports dedupe and auto update imported cards with the same first field)

biggest insight for me as a decade+ user: ignore the due count. just plug away at reviews when you have time. I've come back multiple times from backlogs of thousands of cards. i really wish the UI would just hide number of cards due b

11% is cited as the percentage that have been diagnosed, so ostensibly the 'true' percentage is even higher. i feel that if such a huge proportion of people (let's say somewhere between 1 in 5 ~ 1 in 10) have an attribute, we
