[ Credit ]

• This add-on is a customized version of the shutdown Anki LeaderBoard, originally created by Thore Tyborski and credit goes to him.

• The idea for this feature was inspired by Anki KillStreaks Chase Mode.

[ Why is this not free? ]

Basically the free leaderboard sync with the server only about 10 times per user/day, currently there are about 2,500 active users (2024-10-31).

This Plus add-on sync with every review so the server load increases from hundreds to thousands per one user, it is probably the same as the load increase in the number of users to about 250,000 to 25 million (maybe) so this feature is not sustainable for free for now.

In other words I plan to develop high risk functions with server load on this Plus and functions that are not server load will be developed on the free leaderboard.

[📝Note ]

• If the load is higher than expected the server may go down temporarily, if you experience problems please contact me so I can adjust.

• If the cost of the server was too high this paid add-on could become unavailable (e.g. server costs exceed patron donations), conversely if costs were almost unnecessary this could be free (e.g. develop lots of free advanced workarounds). In the long run I expect this to be free.

[ Download ]

• Download the .ankiaddon file and open it with a double-click, or install it from the "Install from file" menu in the Anki add-ons management screen. (Please note that you cannot install the file by dragging and dropping it into Anki) If you encounter any errors, please contact me.
