I made a synthwave-esque UI for Anki

Right now it's just a personal tool that I’ve been using for a while. If there is any interest from people I’d love to make a public version with more polish, features and customization options, so let me know if you’d be interested in a tool like this for Anki.

If you are interested, you can be emailed when it enters beta testing and eventually fully releases by signing up here: https://damon-fernandez-njur9f.subscribepage.io/

Extra Usage Info: 
The UI runs in a different window than Anki using the Godot game engine (I’m a game developer so I already knew it very well and this let me add shaders, animations and juice easily). Then any reviews you do on this UI get mirrored on Anki. It's not a replacement app for Anki, its only purpose currently is providing a more game-like review environment with sounds, animations and a pretty background. For managing my collection like adding cards, editing them and syncing I currently just use the normal Anki UI.

Also the reason the text always starts from the left of the box is to give the eye a consistent place to start reading, centering text means that depending on the text the eye has to find a new starting point each time the text changes. The fixed width of the text container is so each line can be read in one quick pass of the eye, even for longer cards.
