For those that aren’t familiar, Anki is a very popular multi-device flashcard app with spaced repetition. It’s one of those FOSS apps that’s fairly popular even outside the tech/FOSS community, and it is used by a lot of (most?) med students, pre-med students, etc. It's definitely the best flashcard software out there.

This update is bigger than others because now image occlusion is built in, which is where you can build flashcards out of photos/screenshots by covering up parts of it. Super helpful for memorizing and practising with diagrams (ex. anatomy). Before you'd need an add-on for it (of which there are many, Anki has a pretty big add-on development community too)

I just realized today that it is written mainly in Rust.

I'm personally more interested in trying FSRS, I hope it gets into ankidroid soon.

What does FSRS do? I tried reading the fsrs4anki wiki but it's above my paygrade.
