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.
