Since the project was shutdown I’m in need of a replacement, anyone found a reasonable fork or alternative?

Features I used: * Kobo proxy and 2 way progress sync * OIDC

I really am not interested in going back to Calibre.

From looking online it seems people are migrating to Grimmory: https://github.com/grimmory-tools/grimmory

Not sure how trustworthy this fork is though.

If the ruckus was about AI code, it would seem to me that the fork would contain some, or all of the code, perhaps modified. I’ve been using Calibre Web for quite a while now and it’s stable, ticks all the boxes.

Really depends on when it was forked. I believe AI wasn’t used initially.

I’ve been putting the switchover on hold for a month of two, and see what develops. Honestly considering going back to Calibre and Calibre Web.

I’m sitting on calibre web and wondering the same thing. None of the offerings out there seem to be what I want, which is just a nice book download/upload interface that isn’t shit on mobile.

I set up Komga for my wife when the initial post about Booklore went up, and it seems to work pretty well and is pretty lightweight. Kobo sync has been seamless. I’ve heard mixed things about its metadata lookup but her library on here is too small so far to notice any issues.
