Elsewhere, you said the you're not into tweaking your OS.
Then I agree with Mindcrime: Try PopOS. It's very easy, it's full-featured, and it makes installing software easy.

$56 billion for Elon. Layoffs for the people who made his cars.

And here is the source code for Anki: https://github.com/ankitects/anki
If you want to convince people to use your spaced repetition software over Anki, you need to tell us what's so wrong with Anki that can't be fixed with plugins and that's worth $10 per year.
You must demonstrate value above what Anki does.
I look at your list of projects in https://0xdev.gumroad.com/ and they're all pre-order of things that already exist elsewhere. To me, this smacks of "give me money, and I'll give you promises." Especially the project https://0xdev.gumroad.com/l/HelpFundMe?layout=profile
You want something for free? I'll give you something for free.
Anki absolutely can be improved. For new users, it's very confusing: having multiple decks, the separation between cards and notes, and the search interface are hard for new users.
Combine something that is simpler for new users with a demonstrably better algorithm and you might have a minimally viable product. But you need the product FIRST before you request money.
Give us something that we can run for one week and know that it's better than the free software that is Anki.

Yes. Yes, it is really about dragons.

What excites me? Discovery. Finding significant patterns that no one recognized before. Predicting what's going to happen. My knowledge of computer science and statistics helps me discover new information from mounds of data.
To get my interest, express how much data science (especally statistics) are in your positions.

Streaming is constantly removing movies. There were fewer movies on Netflix streaming in 2022 than there were in 2015 (source: https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/netflixs-movie-library... ) And, according to the same source, Netflix has almost no movies from before 2000.
People might start looking to DVDs for more variety in their movies!

> Faced with this sort of argument, a lot of people will pay lipservice to the need for things like body language, facial expressions, and eye contact, but as an antisocial autistic person, I am afraid that I can't bring myself to understand the importance for such things (if it even exists.)
That sentence is the key to the whole article. Koshka doesn't understand that multiple, simultaneous channels of information give richer information than the strict meaning of the text.
If you don't believe that information is conveyed through body language, facial expressions, and eye contact, then try watching a movie in a language that you don't understand, without subtitles.

Up until June 30, Neopets had been owned by Jumpstart Games. They didn't do much with their IP.
The IP has been purchased by "World of Neopia", who have $4 million to modernize and re-open Neopets.

Cool.
1. What factors in ADHD is this product supposed to treat? 2. How are you measuring the effectiveness of this tool? 3. What other tools for ADHD are you comparing against? 4. How do you manage HIPAA protections? What physical, network, and process security measures are you using?

I use Anki every day. I throw in everything that I've learned during a day, broken into tiny pieces.
All the specific terminology that a new technology uses and the exact keywords that it uses goes in. Any time that I need to look up something and I'm convinced I will need it again goes in. All of the company-specific tools go in.

People are complaining that GoDaddy is randomly redirecting their sites, often to porn websites.

What "other investors"? Twitter is now a private company.
Look at Musk. He's CEO of six companies (or so), yet has time to run DOGE and constantly post on X.
