Nice to see the webcanvas working on the IPhone. Actually I'm also a user of Anki. I've been using the Maemo port of it on my N810. I also use the online service extensively to keep my laptop (where I prepare my vocab lists) and my N810 in sync. I had a similar idea to you recently. Since anki is broken down into libanki and ankiqt, it should be possible to use libanki as backend and write a new frontend which uses handwriting recognition as input method. Since both my project Tegaki and Anki are written in Python, that seems like a good match. In ankiqt, you need to choose if you found the question hard, good or easy. With handwriting recognition, we can use the level of confidence returned by the recognizer instead. What problems are you having with the repo exactly? Thank you very much Shawn.

I do my repetitions while commuting, so I've hacked this up to work reasonably well on my iPod Touch (and works on iPhones). I'm sure we could be smarter about gestures, but this is good enough for now. I'm having trouble cloning your repository, so here's the diff: http://sartak.org/tmp/itouch.diff.txt Cheers.
