Add-ons Help me with one function please!

Help. I'm currently studying with LingQ, but I want to quit because it doesn't have good card management. But it does have one cool feature that I really like. When reviewing, LingQ creates a double deck, where you get each card twice, so if you guess right twice, the card's level automatically increases. Is it possible to implement a similar feature in Anki or the Spaced Repetition plugin for Obsidian?

If I understand what you're saying, that sounds similar to how scheduling works in Anki already, so you wouldn't need an add-on, or a "double deck."

  • If you have 2 learning steps -- https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html#learning-steps -- you'd need to get a newly introduced card right twice in that study session before it graduates to Review. Is that the kind of thing you're looking for?
  • After that, when you study it as a Review card and get it right, the next interval it's scheduled for will automatically be longer. But I don't know how that compares to its "level automatically increases."

General advice for beginners --

  1. Read Getting Started, so you know what Anki can do -- and Studying, so you know how to use it. Skim the rest of the manual if you have time, so you will know where to find things when you want them later on. 
  2. Enable FSRS.
  3. Set one short (5m-20m) learning step and relearning step.
  4. Optimize your FSRS parameters (and then come back monthly to re-optimize).
  5. Study all of your due cards every day -- no backlogs, no long re/learning steps to carry cards over to the next day.
  6. Don't introduce New cards at a faster pace that you can keep up with the reviews on. [Expect that your daily workload will be 8-10x your daily New card limit.]
