Making education free

The fact that this is free and open source, when so many other apps that do the same thing are subscription based, is really admirable. I’m a student who doesn’t have much leeway with disposable income, but I’m pushing myself to learn a rather niche language that doesn’t have much learning material available, for one of my friends. This app has made that barrier to learning so much lower. Thank you very much, It’s so appreciated.
