Hello everyone! It’s that time of the month again! Here is what the AnkiHub team has been up to during the most wonderful time of the year.
Deck creators can publish updates to their subscribers!
We’re excited to announce our latest integration with community.ankihub.net!
When you visit a deck on AnkiHub you will now see an Updates section next to the Deck Wiki. This section will contain updates that have been published to the community by either the deck creator or maintainers. When a maintainer publishes a new update, all the deck subscribers will receive a notification on the community and an email if they haven’t logged into the community recently.
Relatedly, community groups for all decks have been created! This will allow subscribers to reach out directly to the whole maintainer team in private messages. Similarly, deck maintainers can coordinate directly through the community to streamline the collaboration workflow. More on this soon!
User Interface Enhancements ![:art: :art:](https://community.ankihub.net/images/emoji/twitter/art.png?v=12)
- Our login dialog now stays on top of other windows, ensuring a smoother login experience.
- Sleeker Add-on Dialogs: We’ve removed unnecessary cancel buttons for a cleaner look.
- Deck Settings Redesign: Navigating deck settings is now a breeze with our user-friendly redesign.
Media ![:film_strip: :film_strip:](https://community.ankihub.net/images/emoji/twitter/film_strip.png?v=12)
- We fixed a bug with gifs. From now on, your cute little animations should play just fine. However, any old GIFs uploaded before this fix might still have the issue. Our team is currently brainstorming on a solution for this.
- File suffixes are now case-insensitive to prevent mix-ups with silly file names!
Deck Management ![:card_file_box: :card_file_box:](https://community.ankihub.net/images/emoji/twitter/card_file_box.png?v=12)
- Local AnkiHub Config: We’ve updated our syncing logic to ensure your AnkiHub add-on configuration never becomes outdated. For example, the AnkiHub add-on will know if you become a maintainer for a deck and can change its behavior accordingly.
- Verified Emails Only: Now, only users with verified emails can create decks, keeping quality high and spam low.
Security and Accessibility ![:closed_lock_with_key: :closed_lock_with_key:](https://community.ankihub.net/images/emoji/twitter/closed_lock_with_key.png?v=12)
- One Email, One Account: Fixed a bug to prevent multiple accounts under a single email.
- Private Deck Invites: We’ve squashed a bug to ensure invitations to private decks are always sent.
User Suggestions and Contributions ![:bulb: :bulb:](https://community.ankihub.net/images/emoji/twitter/bulb.png?v=12)
- Suggestion Simplification: Now, only deck maintainers will be given the option to submit suggestions without review.
- Small but significant tweaks to improve the workflow for making suggestions to optional tag groups.
