Fantastic add - on. I just would like to ask you : are your default settings profound ? I mean, should we change the settings on our own ? Because I don't undestand a lot about theses settings.
Comment from author
Right now, I typically use these settings:
Begin at straight of length: 2
Base Reward: 5%
Step Reward: 5%
Start at ease: 130%
Stop at ease: 250%
This means to recover the ease from clicking Hard, it will take pressing Good 3 times, and to recover from a Fail it will take pressing Good 4 times.

This is fantastic and exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you so much!

I maintain an add-on that tackles "ease hell" in a slightly different way, but highly respect your work on this add on, it's another useful approach. The UX and feedback incorporated into this one is really great. One of the things I love about Anki is that we can try out a few different ways to solve something and all share ideas, and users can find the one that works best for them. Keep up the great work hgiesel!

Would you mind telling me what is called? You striked my interest!

very nice

Great idea

Edit 2: is it possible to get support for Anki 2.1.26? Thanks
Edit 1: Great, thank you!
Great add on, and needed to increase the ease of my cards which I am relearning.
Might be a stupid question, but does the ease increase apply to filtered decks?

Yes!
However, the add-on will currently apply the ease reward, even if you specified for the filtered deck not to reschedule cards. Right now this can be circumvented by not turning off Straight Rewards in such cases (Setting Begin straight length to 0). So be careful in this case. I'm working on the fix!
Note: Straight Rewards v0.3.1 includes the fix for filtered decks
Answer 2: Hi, version 2.1.26 has been supported for a very long time now. I'm a bit confused by the Ankiweb update system however. It might be that you have to go to "Tools > Add-ons > Check for Updates" to manually update. I also updated the version number on this update. I think it should work now.

Genial!!

It stopped working on 2.1.24, can you look into it?
Comment from author
Hi.
It seems like you have to do a manual step to update Straight Reward if updated from Anki v2.1.23 or below to Anki v2.1.24 or above. What I had to do was go to "Tools > Add-ons > Check for Updates", which actually updated a few add-ons, like for example AnkiConnect. I developed Straight Reward for Anki v2.1.24+ some time back, and it actually has some improvements, and a nice new pop-up, when the Sync hook is triggered.

I updated my Anki version just to try this out! So far so good

Thanks so much for the possibility to adjust the settings in the config! This removes the hassle of changing it separately for every deck. It enables batch editing with text editors.

So far so good

Awesome addon.

Excellent in avoiding Ease Hell! New update fixed the previous stop ease error and you can enable/disable notifications. Thanks a million!

Thank you a lot! I'm going to give appreciation and support your work.
Here is the discussion that preceded the development: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/fd89pj/addon_presentation_straight_reward
It might help explain some functions.
Nifty solution for mobile reviews.
I am also surprisingly pleased by the cap ease option. I refrained to use the old Straight Reward for decks because the resulting ease would often be too high. Now I can choose to treat only the low-ease cards with the new Straight Reward.
About the ankiweb description: Base Ease Reward and Step Ease Reward could take a definition since they're not self-explanatory. The given example helps, though I have a question about it: Let's suppose the next rating, i.e. the 7th in a row, again is Good. Will the add-on be triggered? If it would be, that would be unexpected behavior based on how the old Straight Reward behaved.
May I ask, since you've also been a long-time user of Straight Reward, what options do you yourself use?

edit2: Nice – the tooltip shows up just below Puppy Reinforcement tooltip!

My "stop at ease" is set to 249%.
I had a card of 245% ease.
Upon rating, it gained 7% ease via this add-on.
As a result, it has 252%.
Here's another example: https://imgur.com/k30MuFj
Stop ease for this 2nd example is at 250%.
As you see, stop ease is not working as expected 🤔

v0.2 fixed this error. And v0.2.1 fixed another small error introduced by the prior change (haha...).

Thank you. Very useful.

Perfect! Are both hooks ( Sync and Review) automatically activated or do we have to pick one of them or how is it?
Comment from author
Both are automatically activated. At the moment there is no way to activate/deactivate them separately.
Update 10.07.20: As of version 0.4.2, it is possible to deactive the sync hook separately.

Thanks for reviving and extending this add-on.

This looks awesome!
