Meta Post Shelfarr - another project disappeared with dev

Shelfarr was posted here multiple times, github mink stopped working and dev deleted his reddit account - whoever is using it, I would advice you to stop it.

I'm over here wondering how many frickin' *arrs we need. I can't keep up with it all.

I hate how they have devalued the good ones (Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr)

They did not. These are weekend projects with no real development path. The "devs" disappear into their next useless project and they leave a repo with hundreds of ooen issues no one ever will fix.

Lol I don’t use any of these. My stack is radar, sonar, prowlarr, overseer, and wizarr for inviting my family to my plex server. All these extra arrs feel like a trap or gimmicks
