I love anki. But upon reading this I think it's high time I exported all my notes in simple text format, just in case. Maybe also try Fernando Borretti's flashcard app I saw (and dismissed) recently here

I don't think donation approaches are necessarily bad, but yes it should not be as simple as putting a kofi link at the top of a page. This person doesn't just do that though. Right after the part where you've uploaded your o

I don't know if the author is already aware of this or not, but there's actually already a readline / bash two-keystroke shortcut, ^X^E, for doing just that: drop into a terminal editor, with the current state of your command
