Card Template Architecture

Direct card engineering without excessive frameworks. I build and structure standard HTML templates and CSS rules for Anki, calibrating Cloze boundaries, field hierarchies, and display speed across all mobile and desktop engines.

Cloze Geometry & Visual Bounds

A stable flashcard depends on rigid spatial layout. If card content shifts during the front-to-back transition, eye tracking resets and increases mental fatigue. I configure strict boundary constraints, fixed line heights, and uniform spacing to ensure total geometric stability.

RULE 01

Target Retention Heights

Dynamic text heights destroy spatial memory. By establishing a min-height standard on front containers, card flipping keeps buttons and prompts at predictable screen coordinates.

RULE 02

Cloze Bracket Isolation

Cloze deletions require dedicated CSS styling with inline padding, contrasting borders, and zero margin collapses. This isolates key variables from surrounding sentence structures.

RULE 03

Viewport Normalization

Whether running on AnkiMobile, AnkiDroid, or Desktop Qt6, templates are written with rem units and flexbox layouts to eliminate platform-dependent horizontal overflow.

Transparent Rates & Production Specs

I craft these templates personally, without middle-men, bloated frameworks, or unnecessary external libraries. You receive clean, maintainable HTML/CSS code that loads instantaneously. I do not charge upfront fees for standard structural audits. You only pay when the deck renders flawlessly across all your test devices.

Each layout is coordinated with computational parameters detailed in our interval scheduling calculations, ensuring visual parsing speed matches algorithmic review goals.

Technical Architecture Breakdown

Field Layering & Conditional DOM

How data structures map to the browser container inside Anki's rendering webview. Clean separation of structure and presentation prevents corrupt card generation.

Front Side Field Architecture

The front template must contain only the primary stimulus and minimal contextual orientation. Overloading the front layer introduces prompt leakage, artificially lowering active recall effort.

<div class="card-canvas">
<div class="deck-indicator">{{Deck}}</div>
<div class="prompt-box">{{cloze:Text}}</div>
{{#Context}}<div class="hint-tag">{{Context}}</div>{{/Context}}
</div>

Back Side Field Architecture

The back side reveals the answer along with auxiliary information layers: clinical notes, source citations, and high-resolution diagrams. These sections use conditional tags to hide unused fields.

<div class="card-canvas">
<div class="prompt-box">{{cloze:Text}}</div>
{{#Extra_Info}}
<section class="extra-layer">{{Extra_Info}}</section>
{{/Extra_Info}}
</div>
