Any chance for an AnkiDroid "proper widget"?

[dominik....@gmail.com]

Hello.

I've started to use the app just recently. What I really miss in the app is the "proper widget". By "proper" I mean a live widget that can display a card, display an answer, move to the next card, etc.

Such a widget could be placed on the phone's lockscreen, so we can learn and practice everytime we unlock the phone.

Hi, it's unlikely as not many users or developers use the widget. You can follow this issue on github for progress though.

This is something I'd be very very very interested in as well. No other flashcard app I've been able to find offers a card review widget (except one, which always shows both sides of a card and does not have any rate-your-recall SRS functionality). You say that few people use the widget, but if the widget became worth using, you could display a one-time pop-up feature to let people know about it and user adoption would soar... Any estimates of how large of a bounty would be sufficient motivation to get someone to develop this using the API?

It's kind of impossible to say without a proper specification of the deliverables, so if you're interested in starting a bounty I'd suggest making some sketches for a specification, and posting to the github issue I linked to.

I personally probably wouldn't touch it for less than $500 USD, but I'd guess that developers in China and India, or a motivated user might be willing to work on it for less than that. Your mileage may vary though. Whether or not the source code is one of the deliverables, and if so what license it's distributed under might also play a factor in the cost.
