That’s pretty cool—thanks for drawing this to my attention.
I thought of adding it to the EA numbers deck, but it looks like this will force users to install the add-on. Do you happen to know if there is a way of setting things up so that the deck works normally if the add-on isn’t installed but provides the extra functionality for users who do have it installed?
Hmm, I’m not aware of a way to do this (but there might be one). Maybe you could generate two versions of the deck from your orgmode file, one with the Anki with Uncertainty card types and the other with plain card types?
Unfortunately, the Emacs package that integrates org-mode with Anki is very poorly maintained and I’m no longer using it for that reason. Currently, my approach is to keep the normal deck but document how to use the add-on, both in the GitHub repository and in the EA Forum post announcing the release of the new version.
I have now uploaded a new deck with the relevant figures updated. Would you mind checking it out and telling me if it’s working correctly? I might create a separate post to announce this new version, once I add a bunch of new cards people suggested, but feedback from early testers would be valuable.
It’s on my TODO list. Feel free to leave another comment in a month if I don’t update it (and keep leaving comments until I do).
EDIT (3 June 2023): Done.
Hi Pablo,
maybe this could be a useful addition to the Anki deck:
Anki with Uncertainty: Turn any flashcard deck into a calibration training tool

I set a reminder! Also, let me know if you do end up updating it.

I skimmed it, and it looks good to me. Thanks for the work! A separate post on this would be cool.
