Just a PSA.

See this thread

Sorry to link to Reddit, but not only is the dev sloppily using using Claude to do something like 20k line PRs, but they are completely crashing out, banning people from the Discord (actually I think they wiped everything from Discord now), and accusing people forking their code of theft.

It’s a bummer because the app was pretty good… thankfully Calibre-web and Kavita still exist.

I literally just got this all set up and was about to hook up my wife's kobo to it, good timing for this to come out so I don't waste any more of our time with this slop. What a shitshow.

I just spun up Komga instead last night (I was going to set up CWA but I've heard sketchy things about their lead dev that don't leave me optimistic). Very easy to get up and running, pretty basic but it seems to work well and does exactly what it needs to do. I was a bit hesitant since it seemed geared toward comics, but it's handling regular ebooks just fine.

Wait, I use CWA... What do I need to be outraged about this time?

[–] nfreak@lemmy.ml 4 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I don't have the full details, but I saw some mentions in that Booklore reddit thread about CWA's dev ignoring major issues in favor of new features and such, something like that. I admittedly didn't really do much research into that nor the tool itself, but Komga's Kobo support seems better, so I just went with it.

Hmmm... Calibre web's kobo integration is good enough, but Komga seems to be able to sync progress as well?

I might have to try Kkmga after all.

That's not a reason to consider CWA unsafe

what happened with CWA? I was thinking of using it
