On the plus side, the actually good mobile Anki client, AnkiDroid, remains out of the hands of this potentially questionable new entity.

(AnkiDroid has always been run independently, which is good, considering the state of the iOS client, which has always been neglected.)

True. It should however be noted that the most active maintainer of AnkiDroid will be joining the new entity:

> We’re currently talking to David Allison, a long-time core contributor to AnkiDroid, about working together on exactly these questions. His experience with AnkiDroid’s collaborative development is invaluable, and we’re grateful he’s willing to help us get this right. We’re incredibly excited to have him join us full-time to help propel Anki into the future.

anki has so much potential and has such a big and unique audience, it is incomprehensible to me how it has managed to be so neglected.

and then now why, of all times, when a solo developer is never more productive, would the lead maintainer cede ownership? the antidote for programming burnout has just been invented, just take it haha
