That’s an interesting post, thank you! I’ve also been using Anki for a long time. I started in 2018. Now I do about 70 reviews a day (just checked my stats in Anki). The downside of your system, imho, is that it doesn’t integrate with other notes, like notes for books, one’s published posts, ideas, etc. And your handles from the cards looks an artificial and unmaintainable solution that won’t last long, I think. I found it useful to have one system organized around plain text (markdown). I create my anki cards from those plain text files using this script. Other than that, I liked the idea of short cards, and your other advice.
Also, I’m suspicious about effectiveness of sharing personal Anki cards because personal associations matter a lot for retention and recall. I found this article useful.

I also do this! I like to take freeform notes in Obsidian (e.g. for part of a textbook) and then at the bottom create Anki cards. It’s really nice being able to edit/update related cards from the same place, and particularly the same place as the raw context.
