I just moved off of Booklore because of the recent drama. Went back to Calibre + Calibre Web Automated.

Meatspace is still a pretty important place to be present.

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.
Not yet. I ran Calibre + Calibre Web for a while before I found booklore, and the key thing I wanted from my setup was for things to work. I was experimenting with Booklore as a “new direction,” and spent a significant amount of time troubleshooting and fixing various broken things from crashes of the ingestion job due to long file names, failure of metadata being written, OPDS problems, etc. I’ve been reading some web novels (2000+ chapters) for a while, so I didn’t check in with the state of Booklore until recently, and now that I’m coming to the end of my most recent long story, I was going to pick back up in my TBR.
Honestly, I like self-hosting and experimenting, but I do recognize that “bleeding edge” isn’t always compatible with having a relaxing experience. In this case, I want to go back to “easy,” rather than “clever,” or “new.”
