Hi Fabrice,

As always, huge fan of the site. I appreciate your work very much.

As someone who frequently goes to bed past midnight, I often have to remember to do my SRS kanji reviews before midnight. If I forget to do that, I'm forced to combine two days of SRS.

Anki has an option called "Next day starts at ___ hours past midnight" that allows you to choose when the next SRS day starts at. This would be a very useful feature to me that doesn't seem to difficult to implement.

If you like this feature but don't have the time to implement it, I could try my hand at creating a pull request... I'm a bit of a novice, but I'll try me best!

Thanks!

Likely steps, brainstormed in "Next day starts at" Option #248

• add a Next day starts at ___ hours past midnight setting in the Spaced Repetition Screen, which is a Vue component, https://github.com/fabd/kanji-koohii/blob/master/src/vite/src/vue/account/SpacedRepetitionForm.vue
• the form is instanced from this php template https://github.com/fabd/kanji-koohii/blob/master/src/apps/koohii/modules/account/templates/spacedrepetitionSuccess.php
• the form POST would have to be handled in https://github.com/fabd/kanji-koohii/blob/master/src/apps/koohii/modules/account/actions/actions.class.php#L472
• the option would need to be added to the UsersSettingsPeer db model https://github.com/fabd/kanji-koohii/blob/master/src/lib/peer/UsersSettingsPeer.php
• the mysql schema updated with an incremental sql file in this folder https://github.com/fabd/kanji-koohii/blob/master/src/data/schemas/incremental/README.md
• I would probably add a sqlMidnightTime to UsersPeer, as I';m not sure all the other places sqlLocalTime is used and what side effects it would have to change the existing method https://github.com/fabd/kanji-koohii/blob/master/src/lib/peer/UsersPeer.php#L309 - this would essentially do sql DATE( x ) of what the existing function returnsm truncating the HMS, so it is a localized midnight time
• then use that in ReviewsPeer::getFLashcardsForReview https://github.com/fabd/kanji-koohii/blob/master/src/lib/peer/ReviewsPeer.php#L530 instead of sqlLocalTime, - EDIT and add user's nextdaystartsat setting ; therefore then the midnight time used in the due card selection would take in account the user's Next day starts at setting

Also maybe then set the default value of this setting to 5 AM or so ?

Hmm, it does look like sqlLocalTime is only used in the code in reference to expiredate , always to select DUE or UNDUE cards in queries.

it is also used in getTodayCount() to find flashcards reviewed "today" - which can also adjust for the "next day starts at" setting.

So in theory sqlLocalTime itself could be modified to add the user's "Next day starts at" setting.
