I plan to cover than on video eventually. In short: A) violate fundamental principle of atomicity: an add-on to create tables easily and make 30-40 clozes in a single table (used primarily for university) B) ability to quickly create (or semiautomate) flashcards with close to null applicability, so I memorized thousands of facts/vocab that I never used outside of Anki. C) modify the scheduler that ended up to even higher repetition count than the default settings at marginal retention gain
If SuperMemo was democratic, it would be Anki. If it was Anki and had a lot of money, it would be Duolingo. At some point, it would become Truth Social. That's the Singularity of vox populi :)
Ahh such a great way to put it, I was more verbose in my point later in the video and I think I was not as clear. I will borrow this sentence from now on :)
I doubt LaTEX is challenging. I got this in 20 seconds from AI: "JavaScript libraries like MathJax or KaTeX to render LaTeX in HTML. These libraries can convert LaTeX code into HTML and MathML, making it display correctly in web browsers"
Supermemo uses en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Forms which uses IE7 and doesnot have support for modern web standards and running script such as mathjax or katex. Supporting LaTEX would require a rewrite of its core which is very costly.
I don't think PDF support is not something Piotr would want. The problem is implementation which is costly and error-prone. It is enough if you take a look at available PDF-HTML converters. There are plenty of those on the market. But you are faced with compromises, caveats, etc. that ultimately make using Copy-Paste a more viable solution.
I really despiese PDF format. I don't understand how a propietary format became a standard. It is optimized to look a certain way, not to actually contain the characters, so you end up with tons of problems related to ligatures line breaks and other
I agree that that being stern on your product's vision is good.
I'm curious about what bad habits you picked up from anki addons?

the mshtml.dll right?

You have been missed :)

@@PleasurableLearning Thank you. I am glad to see you keep producing those videos. I thought you were to stop.
