Hello friend.

In this post, we will learn about a technique that allows you to store any text file in Anki's media storage so that you can use the data on cards. We'll use it to make our pretty HanziWriter animations work offline too.

Moving on in our series on scripting in Anki, we will create a lot of cards using a CSV from the internet.

In this second post of my series about advanced scripting in Anki, we will explore different approaches of managing templates using the anki python package.

In this first of a series of blog posts where I shed light on the dark secrets that make Kartenaale cards work we will learn how to integrate JavaScript packages into card templates in Anki.

Learning to write in East Asian languages takes a lot of time and practice. If you really want to do this and make good use of your time, why not use all the technological help you can get? To ease the burden on students (including myself), I designed highly customized cards for the flashcard app Anki enriched with data from public character databases to help learn reading, writing, radicals, stroke orders, and many other things.

You can read more about the cards and try them out on the official Kartenaale website, which is the name of a group at the University of Vienna dedicated to using and improving the cards.

Part of a network of research projects funded by the European Union, the Vienna part of ReConnect China scrapes the public internet of China for official documents and other content that can be searched and viewed on our website. My work there is mostly as the software architect and to develop our website and query language.
