AnkiDroid reports that Google Play now blocks Open Collective donation links in app descriptions, removing a key alternative funding source for the open-source flashcard app. This forces maintainers to seek other monetization or support channels as the project has historically relied on community donations.
Background
AnkiDroid is a popular open-source Android flashcard app, a community-driven fork of the Anki ecosystem. Open Collective is a crowdfunding platform commonly used by open-source projects to accept community donations.
