I do not own a laptop, however I do have a Windows PC at home. I intended using wake-on-LAN to not have to keep it on during the whole day. Remote into it and perform the process I mentioned of pulling from AnkiWeb and pushing to AnkiHub.
I am currently in the process of purchasing a raspberry pi for remoting into and doing the same, except this can run all day given the low power consumption. However since the issue is convenience, I would much rather prefer to automate this process so it can run on its own when I tell it to or every set amount of time. I’ve also contacted AnkiConnect’s dev FooSoft, to check whether his addon can be adapted to serve my purpose. That way I could write something that communicates with Anki via a HTTP API and does it automatically.
I’m waiting for his response, but if AnkiConnect can’t do it I’ll have to look for an Anki CLI-kind of tool. I hope I will find something eventually.
