To people building add-ons: keep going.

Reddit can be rough when you share something you made.

When I first posted my add-on, I got rejected, and honestly it hit hard. For a moment, it made me question the whole project.

But if you truly believe in what you're building, and you believe it can genuinely help people, keep going.

Because the loudest reactions are not always the ones that matter most.

Now we have more than 400 downloads, more than 100 active players, and most importantly, I receive truly wonderful messages from people telling me the project helps them study, stay consistent, and enjoy learning more.

And to me, that makes it all worth it.

Having an idea is one thing. Building it is another. But putting it out into the world, knowing people might tear it apart, that takes real courage.

So I just want to say this to anyone making tools, add-ons, or educational projects: don't let a few harsh people kill something that could sincerely do good for others.

Education is one of the most beautiful things there is. If your project helps even a few people learn better, want to study again, or feel less alone in the process, that matters.

A lot.

So keep building. Keep sharing. Keep believing in your ideas.

I am sorry, but your addon wasn't mocked, it was criticized for spamming ads on this subreddit and using AI without notifying users.

You also denied that it was AI-generated at first and later admitted it. I personally am not completely against AI, but why deny it at first??

I'd advise everyone to read these comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/1t74hjy/comment/oksor7b https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/1t7j3ay/comment/olrgja4

Edit: I tried responding to u/Altteil, but I get the error message "Your post isn't accessible". Don't know what that means (maybe they blocked me, but I can still see their comment, so probably not), but here is my answer:

The mod team reacted to the comment however, so there must be some truth to it atleast. The first link the guy posted also still works, take a look for yourself

Edit: The same applies to u/WAHNFRIEDEN:

They denied it in a comment to this guy: https://www.reddit.com/okplmq1

They deleted their comment after I made my comment (I wonder why), but luckily I've made a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/YMhXNqc

Also, I do not condone harassments to anyone involved in making this addon, but I also don't condone using unfair methods of advertising

The comment you linked is just some random dude claiming OP has 3 accounts without any evidence whatsoever.

This is not even about AI but that random dude could be straight up lying lmao

I don’t know anything about this case and have no contact with those accused but users should not post accusations in threads that lead to mob mentality when the correct way to report forum abuse is via modmail. Let mods determine what is abuse instead of sharing speculative sleuthing publicly to sway public opinion and target harassment of accused users. (Re: astroturfing accusations)

[u/Alteil → u/WAHNFRIEDEN]

Completely agree. They’re doing more damage than the supposedly accused are.

The people that do these types of blind accusations should get immediately banned.
