Last chance to download decks
🕑 Added 2022-03-25 15:14:37 +0000 UTCAs many of you know, we've been working towards moving off patreon. Patreon's tier model is very limited and their API is very buggy. We're planning to migrate all patron benefits to the website over the next few months.
One of the biggest complaints we get is that the deck download process is too complicated and that people don't want to sign up for a subscription to access the decks. Based on that feedback, the first piece we're migrating off patreon is the deck purchases so people can buy them directly as a one-time purchase rather than signing up for a patreon subscription.
We'll also be increasing prices (still deciding exactly what). The current pricing of $5 for all decks and content is unsustainable. It costs us thousands of dollars to create each 1K deck and we haven't been able to recoup that cost.
Plus, a good starter vocabulary deck is worth so much more than $5. When I got started with Anki, I wasted dozens of hours filtering through decks to figure out what would work for me. I would have happily paid more to save that time.
We'll be switching to direct purchase on April 1st. As a current patron, we want to make sure that you have the opportunity to download any existing deck before we migrate. You can access the 4 existing decks here.
Please send me a message if you have any questions or technical problems.
Thanks for being supporters!

Hi :D I didn't know that you guys ended up moving the decks and charging more for them, which I am totally okay with btw (I just bought the Spanish one) but so I was wondering if I could have a refund for my 5$ Patreon purchase? It's okay if not, I just didn't see anywhere that you guys moved them to another sight until after I bought the Patreon. Thanks in advance!
