🌸 An unofficial Anki port to JavaScript

Wanki is an unofficial port of the already well known Anki and AnkiDroid open source spaced repetition flashcard system into JavaScript. They support Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. The iOS Version is not open sourced. AnkiWeb is already a web version of Anki, but it requires online connection and has a fairly limited feature set, plus is closed source.

👏 Motivation for Wanki

The code basis for Anki and AnkiDroid are python, rust or java. However, Wanki is a proof of concept of porting the official software into JavaScript with 100% offline support. And as it is a served online web page, updates are rolled out immediately when connected to the internet.

👨‍🏫 What's the difference?

Wanki is not bound to any operating system, and that's why it looks and feels the same on every platform. Currently, it is in initial development and lacks many main features.

🤲 Contribution

First, thanks if you're considering contributing! But as my resources are limited to work on this project, and it is still not published to the public as Wanki is still a proof of concept, issues about bugs aren't currently helpful until the first release. However, improvements in form of pull requests are welcome 💮
