Anki add-on: Type Before Show Answer

Sometimes I find myself automatically skipping through cards without fully articulating an answer. But "type to answer" cards don't work for my usecase: I study a lot of STEM subjects where a verbatim answer is not helpful or LaTeX would be required. This add-on places a text area in Anki's reviewer bottom bar and blocks the Show Answer action until you type something into the box. The text you enter is not checked against the card's answer; it simply acts as a commitment mechanism before you self-grade. It does not require custom card templates.
