Love Anki, but miss the beauty and swiping of Quizlet – thoughts on adding this to Anki?

Hey everyone!

First off, I just want to say how much I love Anki. It’s an incredible tool, and I’ve been using it a lot to stay on top of my learning goals. I really appreciate the customizability and efficiency of spaced repetition.

That said, one thing I truly miss from apps like Quizlet is the sleek, visually appealing user interface—especially the swipe functionality for reviewing cards. Swiping feels so natural and fun, and I find it really boosts my motivation to keep going.

I’ve been thinking: How realistic would it be to suggest adding something like this to Anki itself? I know the Anki community is focused on functionality over form, but maybe a feature like this could bridge the gap for learners who prefer a more tactile and visually engaging experience.

Do you think this would be something the Anki maintainers might consider if I (or someone else) were to try programming it and proposing it as a pull request? Or are there perhaps already existing discussions, plugins, or projects tackling this kind of idea?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the feasibility and whether others would also enjoy such a feature. Thanks for reading!
