Add-on to use JPDB directly inside Anki

Primary LanguagePythonMIT LicenseMIT

Kuma Browser

Shows Kumakyuu in dark mode and Kumayuru in light mode.

Kuma Browser enables a few functionalities from the jpdb.io search engine directly within Anki.

Caution

Kuma Browser is not an official JPDB addon. It simply aims to facilitate the creation of Anki cards, but does not want to replace JPDB.

People from JPDB if you see this, please make an offline app for your website πŸ–€πŸ€

Note

Kuma Browser is a project in development, and features are added when I need them. You can contribute by adding an Issue or making a Pull Request.

Installation

The installation process is similar to other Anki plugins and can be accomplished in three steps:

  1. Download the latest release's .zip file
  2. Select Tools β†’ Add-ons, then click on View Files
  3. Drag the downloaded .zip file in the addons21 folder, and unzip it

Features

To start the Kuma Browser, select Tools β†’ Kuma Browser

The Search Tab

  • The Search tab allows to quicly search a word through a deck.

  • Selecting an item will open the corresponding Edit window, to quickly make modifications.

  • Right-clicking on an item makes a context menu open:

    • Study Next will set the due position to zero if the cards are New.

The JPDB Tab

  • The JPDB tab works as a substitute to jpdb.io search engine.

  • Double-clicking an item will open the corresponding JPDB page.

  • Generate Note will create the note associated to the JPDB entry.

The JPDB Vocabulary List Tab

  • The JPDB VocabList tab allows to create Anki notes from JPDB vocabulary lists.

  • You can enter a link of a vocabulary list, eg. https://jpdb.io/novel/5829/kuma-kuma-kuma-bear/vocabulary-lis and click Search vocab list on JPDB to see what notes will be created.

  • Generate all notes will create all the notes of the search result.

  • Note existence is checked based on the Expression field, which might not be sufficient to fully separate JPDB entries in practice.

The Reposition Tab

  • The Reposition tab allows to reposition cards based on the frequency field for a given deck.

  • Only the New cards will be repositioned.

The JPDB API Vocabulary List Tab

  • The JPDB VocabList tab allows to create Anki notes from JPDB vocabulary lists using the JPDB API.

  • This way is faster and more reliable than the normal one, but it does not provide example sentences.

  • Usage:

    • Log into your JPDB account
    • In Settings get your API key at the bottom of the page.
    • In Learn(x) click on the vocabulary list you want to add, and get the Id at the end of the url.
    • In Anki, enter the information and press Generate.

  • Note existence is checked based on the Expression field, which might not be sufficient to fully separate JPDB entries in practice.

  • You can save your API key by toggling the check box.
