According to the official Discord, “ACX has made the decision to close Booklore and step away.” Some contributors are working together on an unnamed replacement project.
For those not in the loop, Booklore was an app for selfhosting book libraries. It had a nice UI. It was able to store metadata separately from the download files, so you could have an organized library without duplication. In recent weeks, there have been conflicts about AI code, licensing, and general Discord nastiness.
RIP
Edit: The discord, website and github are all gone.
Yep, I saw the writing on the wall and tagged my 1.13.2 image locally. It’s still running fine on my machine and I added his animated donate button to my filter lists on ublock. I’m going to have to backup this image and keep using it until it breaks. Hopefully by then someone has a fork.
The risks of auto-updating now include “devs losing their shit” which has become increasingly common.
