Tips to make cool Anki cards for STEM subjects
- Copy Latex extension - I often found it hard to highlight equations on some wiki pages which is why I use this extension. Makes the job pretty easy.
- One Note - to draw and add images and also draw over images
- add emojis - Emojis in Anki to enhance learning – using AutoHotkey
- Use ShareX to clip perfect screenshots and also to annotate shots
- Use Irfan View to delete unwanted text and do basic editing
- Tragic Marker Font / Architect’s Daughter - for a hand-written feel
- Anki Latex Helper to insert equations easily
- Create tables easily
- Use different colors to make it easier to learn things:
