A follow up to this post: https://t.me/ajatt_tools/405
Since they clearly don't want to cooperate and solve the issue together, I just made this issue: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/issues/4443
Basically, I suggest making a new bottom bar written in PyQt with Flexible Grading features built-in (a very tiny bar that only shows button times and hides answer buttons).

Recently Arch Linux removed fcitx4 from the official repos and moved the packages to the AUR, so installing or updating fcitx4 now requires building it from source. That's inconvenient, so I updated our guide to recommend fcitx5 instead.

This new site is AJATT's catalog of Japanese subtitles for anime, dramas, TV shows, and movies. Previously we only had a GitHub repository at https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/kitsunekko-mirror/, but that required downloading the entire repo (several GiB), which is inconvenient.

Unlike some other subtitle catalogs, ours works without JavaScript. You can disable JavaScript and still use it. The site does include some JavaScript, but the code is free and trivial. We do not promote proprietary software. Our immersion learning toolset is completely free/libre.
I find it despicable that some languageβlearning resources advertise nonfree software. It's like selling tobacco to kids at a school. AJATT does not support that. With our new subtitle catalog, you can find subtitle files without running nonfree software or relying on nonfree JavaScript.

Transformers OCR is deprecated
Since 2022 and until now, transformers_ocr has been the main manga OCR app for AJATT. It's time to move on. Last week we published a new project, zala. Zala is a screenshot utility I intend to use as a dependency in our new manga OCR app.
We replaced transformers_ocr for two reasons:
1) transformers_ocr lacks a built-in screenshot utility, so it had to support many external tools (maim, grim, gnome-screenshot, spectacle, etc.), different desktop environments, Xorg and Wayland, and various window managers.
2) Its architecture expected one component to run in the background while another sent commands to it via a pipe. That approach is brittle and often breaks.
The successor is Lancet. Check it out: https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/lancet

Meet Lancet β AJATT's new OCR app for reading manga.
Lancet is the spiritual successor to transformers_ocr. It's an OCR app that uses PyTorch models to recognize Japanese text in images and works best with Goldendictβng or Rikaitan.
Like transformers_ocr, Lancet is simple to use. After installing Lancet, launch Goldendict and open a manga folder in nsxiv. Start Lancet and wait for the OCR model to load. Press the OCR shortcut (default

π Lancet
* Fixed an error when creating a region screenshot and saving it to disk.
* Lancet now exits if another instance is already running to avoid spawning multiple processes.
* Use Python's thread pool instead of QThreadPool to avoid conflicts with PyTorch threads.
Some users reported Lancet doesn't work on Wayland. I don't use Wayland (I use i3wm), so I wasn't aware. This is a Qt limitation, but it can be worked around by using an external screenshot tool. I plan to fix it soon.

Recently, our subtitle catalog at subtitles.ajatt.top started eating up money on Yandex Cloud. I'm not sure exactly why, but it's probably because the number of users increased.
I moved it to free GitHub Pages. Users shouldn't notice any difference. It should actually be better, since synchronization will take less time. Previously, we had to push the site files to the bucket during every update.
