:crown: AnKing Step Deck Update #3 (Feb 15th - Mar 15th)

Hey everyone! :wave:

We hope you are all doing well :grin:

Since the last time we spoke to you, here’s an overview of what has been going on behind the scenes:

:tada: 11,733 note updates!

:woman_health_worker: :man_health_worker: 3,300 new subscribers!

We have lots of exciting things to catch you up on!

:ballot_box: Poll results

91 of you voted in the last poll! Here are the results below:

We will focus on fixing the super long mnemonics (>8 clozes) so they don’t interrupt your reviewing!

The first one we will change is the SIG E CAPS mnemonic and split it into two clozes (since it is currently 13 clozes long).

If you do not want it to be changed, please see this post on how to protect fields: Protecting Fields and Tags
