Could you change the "browse catalog" URL from Google Drive to GitHub?
-
If you do 1, please also upload one zip file for each language, otherwise one must download a lot of files manually. Related issue is [Feature request] Mass import #81.
Additional context
This future-proofs the app, if the maintainer becomes inactive; and helps third-party forks.
- The catalog can be in the source tree or its own repo.
- If the catalog is very big, the build process can ignore it.
The cons of using Google Drive are
- Google can delete the Drive, if the account owner is inactive for a long time.
- In fact, the owner is appearing now as boy's photo +

- Cannot download a language's folder on mobile. The download button does not exist in the Google Drive mobile version.
- I can either download the folder from the PC, or download a single card on mobile.
- The URL is very long and hard to type by hand on a PC: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1sjHdkcChH2CvUi3jmhf--PNeVmA_716W
- The cards don't have a license.
The pros of using GitHub are
- GitHub does not delete repos of inactive maintainers.
- Via pull requests, the community can easily contribute cards.
- If the cards are in the source tree repo, they inherit the license, so they can be reused in third-party forks.
