Hi, ファブリス I notice you're using the Raphaeljs vector library for the leitner graph now, I know using the Raphaeljs library you can animate items, any chance you could animate the failed stack so it "pulses" red, a minor aesthetic improvement but I think it would make it more obvious that there are failed cards that need your attention before moving onto studying new cards.

Thanks.

Lol, and why not use a blink tag as well?

Seriously, we don't need annoying animations and not everybody uses the failed stack in the same way. When I did my second pass through RtK, the failed pile was the kanji I had left to study and were not urgent.

I suppose not everybody uses it the same way. Guess it was a silly idea. sad

All suggestions are welcome. You're right, the graph can be animated to some extent, and maybe I'll find good uses for it in the future. But yeah, animating the bar color may be annoying for some users. Generally doing animations can be expensive both in slowing down the SVG on some browsers, and takes a lot of code for a little sugar extra, so it would be something to consider where it adds value to usability or information.
