An addon for Anki that removes the wide spectrum of “Again”, “Easy”, “Good”, “Hard” buttons from your Anki reviews, instead choosing to offer you only two options: “Fail” and “Pass”, setting keybinds to Fail:1, Pass:2/3/4.
The goal of this addon is twofold:
- The wide spectrum of buttons introduces decision paralysis when reviewing. This is undesirable as when reviewing you should be thinking more about what you’re reviewing than what button to press.
- The “Hard” button in Anki has an effect the opposite of what you would desire – when you find something difficult, it increases the amount of time before you review it again, giving you more time to forget it. Pass/Fail 2 counters this design by simply removing the Hard button in the first place.
Intended to be used with settings from “Low-Key” Low-Key Anki, but can also be used without.
As of v0.3.0, also supports changing button colors and text.
Pass/Fail 2 can be installed from AnkiWeb here.
Pass/Fail 2 can be installed manually by going to the Releases page and downloading the latest
release’s passfail2-<version>.ankiaddon file, then navigating to
Tools > Addons in Anki and clicking “Install From File”. You should then select the
passfail2 anki addon file in your Downloads folder and restart Anki.
Please keep in mind that if the addon updates, manual installs will need to be updated as well.
The simplest way to develop on this addon is to git clone this
a fork of this repository into your Anki addons folder.
On Linux this folder is $HOME/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/ for Anki
2.1.x, so you would click the fork button in the top-right corner of
the page then do the following.
$ cd ~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/ $ git clone https://github.com/<your github username>/passfail2
Then you can proceed with modifying the addon within this folder. Note that you’ll need to restart Anki every time you make changes.
