8/12 Crash Maintenance Resolved and Infrastructure Rehaul

We've been busy bees at the PDF2Anki hive! Hereโ€™s the buzz on our latest updates:

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Infrastructure Overhaul & Server Downtime

  • We experienced some turbulence on 8/12 with server downtime due to an unexpected crash and overload. Our team pulled an all-nighter, and we're happy to report that the issue has been resolved. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Backend Infrastructure Rehaul

  • We've completely re-engineered our backend infrastructure to prevent future mishaps and ensure PDF2Anki can handle the buzz. This major upgrade is all about scalability and protecting against server attacks and overloads.

๐Ÿ“Š UI Enhancements - Sidebar and Progress Bar

  • Weโ€™ve introduced skeleton loading for the sidebar and generation number progress bar. Now, youโ€™ll see a preview layout while loading, making for a smoother and more informed user experience.

๐Ÿ”– Sidebar Icons & Deck Type

  • The sidebar icons have had a makeover! They now indicate the type of deck youโ€™re working on, so you can navigate and organize it with ease.


๐Ÿ˜Š Continued Improvements

  • Simplified User Experience: We've kept the intuitive dual-panel design for easy management of your flashcards.

  • Dashboard for All Decks: Your multi-PDF progress is still tracked centrally for convenience.

  • Flashcard History: Due to popular demand, revisiting old flashcards is just a click away.

  • Cloze Card Type Added: Fill-in-the-blank fans, we've got you covered!

  • Bug Squashing: Crashes, login issues, and those pesky "None Type" errors are now a thing of the past.

๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป Things on Our Agenda

  • In-built flashcard review system: Quickly review flashcards directly on PDF2Anki.

  • Delete decks: Due to popular demand, we will look into a delete deck function to help organise the dashboard page overload.

  • Live streaming generation: Flashcard generation time takes a long time at the moment, we will look into a complete transition of the infrastructure to allow live instantaneous flashcard generation.

Thank you for your continued support and patience. We're a small team with big dreams, working tirelessly to ensure PDF2Anki is the best it can be for your learning journey.

Happy Studying, The PDF2Anki Team ๐Ÿ“š
