Custom study screen suggestion

Is the idea here to:

1. Prompt the user for a number of cards
2. Select that many random cards from the current deck
3. Create a filtered deck with just those cards?

This was about being able to cram cards without having to select tags first. This screen will likely be rewritten in Svelte at one point, so I'd prefer not to make changes to it until then.

Is there an issue or tracker for monitoring which components/pages have been migrated to svelte, and which remain? I could take on something reasonably small like this screen if the migration project is ongoing/already started.

I don't think we're tracking this anywhere at the moment. Work on custom study could potentially begin now if you felt you were up for it, but there are a few things that may be difficult depending on your ability:

• the code that changes the collection needs to be written in Rust, like the deck options screen
• the tag selection in Svelte needs to deal with potentially thousands of tags. A naive approach that renders them all to the DOM will likely result in slow rendering, so the selection widget would need to be a virtual list, similar to the approach seen here: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte-virtual-list

If you don't feel confident being able to tackle those things largely on your own, it may not be the best thing to start on.
