1 month ago I thought to add: I know the settings inside the card let you swap these things, but I still ruin the first card I open before inputting these settings, because I see it all right away (and lose the chance to recall the character from memory) — and I will often be opening the deck with just a card or two waiting.
I also confirmed it is NOT possible to try to work this out from the custom template guide in the blog because this link containing the handwriting component: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/krmanik/Anki-xiehanzi/master/Versions/Version%201.8/writing.component.html is broken.
The text that was in that page, however, is displayed in the video guide below. It's scrolled over, backwards, and very quickly, and there's a ton of code, so I even considered trying to copy it manually but wow is that an incredible pain (if it scrolled slower and from top to bottom it might be less miserable).
Ringotan was the single most effective tool for my Japanese, and I want to replicate that, where I hear the word (maybe with pinyin—but I don't think English definitions are necessary since homophones are not the problem that they are in Japanese) and I have to recall what the character looks like from memory.
I’ve never tried editing card templates and I don’t know if this is possible there. I just tried removing the characters manually from the front of my cards only to see doing so made the drawing section disappear entirely.
