I still cannot believe no one asked/requested this

I love the Later Crabigator script on Wanikani, which is basically that you can skip a review and continue answering the rest. The review will pop-up later either way, but you can just skip it if your brain doesn’t feel like remembering.

For me it’s quite a positive reinforcement, since I do prefer to squeeze my brain with the last 5-10 reviews. Doesn’t matter if I still fail them, but I feel I’m faster when answering the “easy” ones first.

I tried looking for scripts doing this, and there’s no chance at all. Even no requests on these forums.

I wouldn’t even hire someone to do this for me, and I don’t know why Bunpro doesn’t have this feature in it.

You can sort your queue by descending order, it kind of sounds like what you’re looking for :slight_smile: It can be changed in the settings from the reviews interface.

It helps, but I just want a button saying “Skip” and sending that review back on the queue.

Thanks for your approach!

Wanikani’s public API is flexible enough to do this.

Bunpro does not have a public, documented API. Having a quick look at what happens in the browser during a review, I’m not 100% sure one could hack this together with what we have. But even if, it’d take ages to reverse engineer what happens during a review, with no stable interface, meaning Bunpro could change it every day, because there’s no committment to keep the API stable. Because it’s internal only.

If we ever get a proper API, I will make that script just for you. Even if I don’t need it. Just because I’ll be so happy about having an API :rofl:

I’ve written a few small Bunpro extensions for myself, such as custom learning queues (I can just pick random words from decks and search results, and make a learn queue, without making a custom deck). And I can confirm that in the current state, Bunpro is sort of painful to extend.

I’m sorry, but how do I access this screen?

You can only access it from an on-going review session : start one and then hit “settings” (the little wheel thingie), then “queue order” and you’re good

I haven’t used the program you’re talking about, but I’ve suggested a skip or snooze button as well in the suggestions thread. I also have words where my brain just won’t digest them until it’s ready, and it’s tedious narking them wrong constantly in a session when what I really want is to ignore them entirely :rofl:

Wow thank you. Appreciate it!

Well for me is more about, tanking 120 reviews and having a lot of hiccups in between. I think if you can skip some of them, you will get probably 90 correct reviews, you’ll surprisingly fail 10 reviews and then you’ll find that 20 of them aren’t sticking yet.

For me is easier to breeze through the easy points, and at the end put all my concentration in. On the opposite side, I’m just like “Yay! - Damn it - Yay! - Oh ffs I knew this! - Good - I have this on the TIP OF MY TONGUE FFFFFF…” I sometimes even stop reviewing cause I get 8-10 reviews wrong one after another and I get frustrated. I know it is my problem, but still, how hard is to include a bottom to “Skip” a review and fight all the hard reviews at the end?

Is there a way to access this setting on the PC version? I can’t find the option under review settings.

Yeah I used to get annoyed and call it quits sometimes for the same reason. Nowadays I just instantly mark as wrong the ones I want to skip every time they come up, and when I feel like I’ve passed the ones I want to study I just reset my session. I actually very rarely finish a session normally and instead reset them once I’m down to those “trouble words”. Too many reviews to get through lately to waste time on the difficult ones. It’s a pain but works.

1038 reviews yesterday, 715 so far today and still not caught up :joy:

You know what, I thought this was silly, but it would be kind nice. I recently had a bit of SRS burnout and stopped altogether (without putting it into vacation mode) and came back to a SHIT ton of reviews. took me a solid couple of weeks just to get back into it. And then sometimes there are words I KNOW because I was JUST using or reading them but in that moment Im forgetting and I dont wanna reset it because its like. I forgot in this 5 minute period of me being a dumbass.

@MonoTranslucido What is the Wanikani Script? Can you link it? Ill have to add it to mine so I can do the same and focus all my energy on the kanji and words I truly am having a hard time with.

Well but… are you not messing with your SRS by doing that?

Also, that’s a bit annoying to do. And I 100% understand what you mean. For me it’s just basically that I have two moods: complete all reviews no matter what (cause I have enough free time, I’m relaxed, etc) and then the opposite, I have maybe 10-15 stressful minutes and I just want to terminate some easy ones to reduce the pile.

That button could be the solution.

Thanks for your support, I wish they add this cause it seems more or less easy to implement!

The Wanikani script is this, Later Crabigator: WaniKani Later Crabigator

Probably. I can only assume the ones I skip constantly have hit rock bottom regardless of SRS setting (though technically I have it set to -half), unless I’ve bugged them out by doing this. Not sure because I now also hide SRS level, also to avoid added frustration. I’d be shocked if I haven’t broken something :slightly_smiling_face:

A dev could probably tell me for sure but I’ll bet there are some words I’ve ignored 100+ times at this point because I’m so over them I don’t bother (until I catch up on reviews at least). And yeah this is a huuuuuge time sink. For perspective iOS says I’ve used Bunpro for 5h38m for 782 reviews (but the way I review might even break that counter in the Bunpro homepage?).

+1 for this. I often find both with this and with Anki that amid hundreds of reviews there will inevitably be a word or two that your brain just can’t pull up at that moment. Happens in English all the time, names, etc. Now I could halt my reviews and come back in 10 minutes or whatever, but I would rather be able to bump the question back to later in the currently due queue and get on with other reviews I can think of right now.

I can’t agree more. Sometimes when that happens to me I just go elsewhere, watch a video, see the news and 2 minutes later, bam! The word is already there.

But I cannot do that 10 times in a review session. I just want to SKIP it and answer it later, when it is already in my tongue.
