How do I keep my study group's Anki review backlog from piling up?
WebRun checks each study group member's Anki due-card backlog every morning, archives the shared deck files to Google Drive, and posts a digest to Slack ranking members by backlog size and flagging anyone whose backlog has grown 3 days running, so peer accountability happens without a manual check-in.
- Growing backlogs get flagged after 3 days, not at exam time
- Shared decks are archived automatically for the whole group
- Peer accountability happens without a manual check-in message

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it message individual members privately?
No. It only posts the shared digest to the group's Slack channel. WebRun never emails or messages a member directly.
Will it review or edit anyone's cards?
No. It only reads the due-card count. Reviewing cards and editing decks stays entirely with each member.
What if someone's backlog is intentionally high?
It only flags backlogs still growing after 3 straight days, so a one-time high count from a busy day doesn't get called out.
