#+TITLE: Pass/Fail 2

An addon for Anki that removes the wide spectrum of "Again", "Easy", "Good", "Hard" buttons from your Anki reviews, instead choosing to offer you only two options: "Fail" and "Pass", setting keybinds to Fail:1, Pass:2/3/4.

The goal of this addon is twofold:

1. The wide spectrum of buttons introduces decision paralysis when reviewing. This is undesirable as when reviewing you should be thinking more about what you're reviewing than what button to press.
2. The "Hard" button in Anki has an effect the opposite of what you would desire -- when you find something difficult, it increases the amount of time before you review it again, giving you more time to forget it. Pass/Fail 2 counters this design by simply removing the Hard button in the first place.

Intended to be used with settings from [[https://refold.la/roadmap/stage-1/a/anki-setup#Low-key-Low-key-Anki]["Low-Key" Low-Key Anki]], but can also be used without.

As of v0.3.0, also supports changing button colors and text.
