Given that push notifications haven't worked in AnkiDroid for years, it doesn't feel good to me?

Just one data point but they work for me. (Nothing phone, android 16, Ankidroid 2.23.3 installed from Fdroid)

Notifications work extremely badly.

We've got a setting [developer options only] which completely reimplements them, it won't be live for 2.24, but hopefully 2.25

Why would you need push notifications on AnkiDroid?

Duolingo effect, people will forget to do the learning if they are not reminded

I prefer Apps that won't manipulate me. Duolingo is annoying. Anki is a habit after a certain point

Reminder is not manipulation.
