When starting a custom study session, I noticed that “Apply grading (default)” and “Only apply grading for due notes” was worded very confusingly. I changed it to “Only grade due notes (default)” and “Apply grading for all notes”, and updated how the latter option works. To summarize:

It’s been 1 year since Merit Cards’ first beta release! I finally created a custom icon. It’s supposed to be a cute owl in a fortune bag. Apart from that, new monthly beta with updated dependencies and bug fixes that were necessary for Kotlin 1.9.20. |

Beta 16 release bringing:
Unfortunately, I think I found a bug in JavaFX’ TreeView that can happen when selecting multiple items (and then deleting one). I have disabled support for selecting multiple items in the sidebar for now while I investigate this bug. Sorry about that. |
2023-03-12 | Fixed broken session when not setting a note limit. |
2023-03-11 | Re-uploaded Beta 15 because Merit Cards didn’t create its necessary folder in %LOCALAPPDATA% if it was missing; sorry about that. |
2023-03-10 | Re-uploaded Beta 15 because it was still showing “Beta 14” in the About dialog. |

I’ve been working on bringing Merit Cards closer to a public release. Notable features/bug fixes are:
|
2023-01-21 | Extended this month’s license to April. |
2023-01-01 | New monthly beta; happy new year. |
2022-12-19 | The color when grading a note now flashes for a short time instead of immediately switching to the next note; added a confirmation when exiting a study session with Esc; fixed a bug that cleared the search bar after all notes were retrieved in a note list; minor style tweaks. |
2022-12-04 | Fixed a bug when re-grading previously graded notes (and automatic re-grading is allowed in the settings); fixed stale cache when adding a new note in the Note editor and then returning back to the list of notes. |
2022-12-01 | New monthly beta; fixed a restoration bug when deleting facets during a study session. |
2022-11-26 | Fixed broken session when studying decks without due notes. |
2022-11-19 |
I refactored the session screen for many small improvements:
And for the note list screen:
|
2022-11-03 | Removed “Free Notes” (this wasn’t usable anyway in the current state; it might come back in the future); fixed wrong default for Mica on non-AMD hardware (finally). |
2022-11-01 | New monthly beta; Merit Cards now backups its database once per day; improved the database scheme for less space usage; fixed the calculation of due notes for the “All Notes” deck; fixed a restoration bug when deleting a facet during a study session; added the option to import new notes into an existing deck; improved the workaround for Windows 11’s Mica effect on non-AMD hardware (see discussion); added an internal setting for debug logs. |
2022-10-08 | Fixed a severe bug when moving around notes; added a workaround for Windows 11’s Mica effect on non-AMD hardware (take a look under … → Preferences); improved how notes are being fetched from the database (this speeds up decks with several thousands of notes). |
2022-10-01 | New monthly beta; added a summary at the end of a study session; fixed sorting by due date in the note list screen; you can now edit a note’s due date manually if you need to; updated the Mica effect to Windows 11 22H2 (this might be unreliable, still investigating). |
2022-09-01 | New monthly beta; removed “Cancel session and skip grading” (this feature was actually removed before the first beta build, but not from the UI). |
2022-08-19 | Added a new setting to quickly allow re-grading of notes; Merit Cards now correctly shows all available fonts when editing facets; adapt to JavaFX 19’s focus-visible classes. |
2022-08-07 | Fixed a restoration issue when returning to a study session from the note editor. Only one Merit Cards instance can be launched at a time. |
2022-08-01 | First public beta build! |
