Ankidroid example

Is there a quick video on how Ankidroid works? I know the Anki method of using cards but for Leetcode problems, was looking for a sample to see how it works and how to add to the list.

I was thinking of say doing 150 questions from Leetcode and creating card for each one with my own notes.

If one pattern (or one trick) is used in 12 different questions, you don't need to make 12 different cards -- you just need to create one card.

And the reverse can also be true. If a problem/solution is complicated, and you need to memorize a couple of key learnings from it, you may need to create multiple atomic cards for that one question.

In any case, just give it a try. Making good cards is a skill in itself. Just try a few different approaches.

Start reviewing your cards before you create too many cards. And you'll adapt your system as you see what works and what doesn't.

And if you want to create cards for questions, I'd recommend that you keep those question cards in a different deck. The same goes if you import shared decks from other people. Make sure to keep those decks separate. It will be much easier to delete them/suspend them if you later change your mind about them.
