I recently discovered jpdb and saw that it has an SRS. I think the feature where I can sort anime by the amount of words I know in them is super helpful. Is the SRS a good enough replacement for Anki? Are there any downsides to switching to jpdb?
#Should I switch from Anki to jpdb?

If you are mining your own sentences from shows and video, including their original audio and screenshot, I think jpdb is not a good substitute. Working a vocab list to comprehend a specific show is a nice idea, but cards that allow you to recall that moment where the vocab appeared and it’s context make the SRS a lot more powerful and enjoyable.

I'm not sentence mining yet, but I will eventually. I did just realize that I can always just import my anki deck whenever I want to see known word count.

Whenever this question comes up, I always encourage people to give sentence mining an honest try for at least a few months before doing something else. It may seem like an overwhelming concept, but I firmly believe that the skills that sentence mining teaches you are extremely important. It's not about the activity of sentence mining itself, but how it teaches you the meta skills of self evaluation, picking out what information is important to learn and learning to decide what information is important to discard because it's not worth your time.

Hey. So I am still quite new to jpbd so I have been trying to figure out the best thing to do same as you, but I do agree with the others in that Anki is way more customizable and useful for sentence mining, so what I have been doing is just using jpbd for the frequency lists.
First I went to the setting page to make sure the blacklist/lock sentence are as I want it.
After that I went to the deck for the show I want to mine from, and sort in order of most common words, all the ones that are in Anki already or I already know I marked as never forget. Then all I have been doing is mining the most frequent word here to put in Anki, and marking them off as known one by one
So if you have the word that I know I want to mine I just ctrl f the srt file or the browser option on Migaku to find a good sentence that uses it and mine them this way
If others have a better workflow I would be interested to hear what others do
