    The BookLore thing is really disappointing. I hope we see a quality fork in the near future.

      I’m not sure a fork makes sense given the dev merged way too much nonsense already. Maybe from a point in time before it started?

      I’ve been looking to check out Booklore over some annoyances I have with CWA but IDK anymore.

      BookLore

      I have seriously considered spinning up Booklore. Great looking UI. Oh well.

      I’d rather have a happy and productive maintainer than a burnout and an orphaned project. Either way forks can be made at any point - so if you don’t like the use of AI just fork it or don’t update any more and stay happy. No need to get mad at each other.

        Yeah… I will not be updating my instance for a while. Will probably start looking for something else.
        Wild ride…

      After reading both the accusations and the dev response I don’t know who to believe. I love BookLore and have not encountered any issues, so I guess I’ll stick with it for now.

    I’ve never tried Booklore (glad of that now!) but what were the greatest benefits over something like Audiobookshelf (what I currently use)?

      I never tried ABS, but since I just read ebooks and don’t listen to audiobooks, it just never seemed fitting for me.

      Mostly ereader integration from what I can tell at the moment. ABS handles epubs and such pretty well at this point.
