Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started with packaging a webapp in a Flatpak?
I recently switched to Linux and have a bit of an odd use case with a lot of language learning tools. One of them is called game2text, it's a really simple Chromium web app that basically captures Japanese game text via OCR and converts to plaintext so you can use a popup dictionary with it.

What is your workflow for adding new words to Anki deck for language learning?
I wish I would of known about Yomichan years ago, I can see a lot of work went into the project. Yes, for most web pages a Chrome extension should be able to get the sentence that the word came from. The relevant code for Yomichan might be from this page https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/blob/master/ext/js/app/frontend.js

Are there any sites out there that give the reference number for kanji? I use the Kodansha Kanji Learner's course and it would save me a ton of time instead of having to look for it via stroke count.
Consider trying Yomichan. In the popup dictionary, click on the Kanji. If you scroll down, there are a bunch of reference numbers for different Kanji books and dictionaries (including Kodansha Compact Kanji Guide and Kodansha Kanji Dictionary).
