Anki add-on: Minimalistic Typing Panel

Minimalistic Typing Panel adds a clean, floating scratchpad to Anki, allowing you to type notes, write answers, brainstorm, or solve problems directly during review without leaving your cards. Designed for students who prefer typing over handwriting, the panel provides a distraction-free workspace that stays available throughout your review session while remaining lightweight and fully customizable. I originally created this add-on for my own daily study sessions because I wanted a simple place to type answers before revealing the card. After using it every day, I decided to share it with the Anki community. If you have ideas or improvements, I'd love to hear them.
