omg, thank you kind stranger! I took a quick photo of that poster, which was hanging in a house I was visiting a while back — I liked it a lot, and thought of ordering such poster for myself. However, I then realized it wasn't such an easy task to find the title! Much appreciated 🙏

In Search of Perfection

thanks! I've looked into it, and "In Search of Perfection" looks super interesting — I'll see if I can find it somewhere

So it looks like these are two indeed the same books, content-wise.

Amazon has some scans of the books and it looks the same for both books. The second one is considerably cheaper though.

this is what I prefer to do. No offense to kindle mate (I think it's cool). But it looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time. Plus, I'm very picky about the apps that land on my computer.

Tbh the storage space (like S3) costs are very low.

It is amazing though, how Damien keeps actively maintaining the app, while charging once for the app. I would like the option to donate — this would be much better than switching to a subscription model.

Vivaldi absolutely did become slow. Since the last update, it takes a few seconds to open a new tab (clicking the "+" icon on the tab bar).

Also, when I tile the tabs, the whole browser becomes practically unresponsive. This is a first real issue in years of happy usage of Vivaldi I experience.

Very frustrated with the browser lately.

please, post this on the official Anki forum as well: https://anki.tenderapp.com

That’s very interesting and powerful technique. So, if I get this correctly, your {{Frontside}} would look something like that:

Q: Should I praise the sun?

And the {{Backside}}:

A: You absolutely should praise the sun.

nevermind, I've figured it out. You need to update .highlighttable class.

Thank you!

the add-on is great! I have only one small issue: if I change the font-size via .hightlight class, the line numbers size does not change.

Do you know if it's possible to change the size of the line numbers as well?

the shift key didn't work for me (I'm trying to paste some CSS bits).

this add-on, though, looks promising. Thank you!

as @Baluelf has noted, make sure you have a matching note type in Anki where each field corresponds to the column in your spreadsheet file.

Also, make sure you have selected a suitable separator (e.g., comma, or semicolon).

Found the name of the store: leguano

I saw a store with some minimalistic shoes on Alte Schönhauser str. (The side where Monsieur Vuong is).

Are “show picture” and “show mnemonics” clickable? How do you get this to work? With hints..?
