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.

It doesn't bother me, but it definitely has the AI-powered contributions included.

I am waiting to see how it shakes out with them. If it is still around in 2 months and they manage to push a good 3.0 version, I will switch. The original creator was responsible for most of the code. I am waiting to see if the Grimmory team can deliver.
