I vibe coded 2anki v2 — an open-source tool that uses Claude to turn notes, PDFs, and photos into Anki decks

2anki has been around since 2020. It started as a notion2anki (Notion → Anki converter). v2 is a big rewrite, and I built most of it "vibe coding" — running a PM/Designer/Engineer agent setup in Claude Code with me as the human reviewing, testing, and merging everything that shipped. I spent over $5000 in tokens

The AI parts relevant to this sub:

• AI converter — paste up to 100k characters, pick a note type (cloze, Q&A, basic + reverse, MCQ) and a depth (short/medium/detailed), and Claude generates cards that arrive auto-tagged with 1–3 topic tags. Change the note type and they regenerate in place.
• Photo to Deck — snap a textbook page, a lecture slide, or handwritten notes and get cards back, with the source image on the back so you study against the original.

Output is a normal .apkg: cloze stays clickable, images/audio/LaTeX carry over, and Anki's TTS reads Japanese/Korean/Chinese aloud. It's not an Anki replacement — just a faster way to feed your existing Anki.

Since this crowd actually cares about AI card quality — I'd genuinely like to know whether the cards it generates hold up. Roast the output if it deserves it.
