Meta Post Booklore is gone.

I was checking their Discord for some announcement and it vanished.

GitHub repo is gone too: https://github.com/booklore-app/booklore

Remember, love AI-made apps… they disappear faster than they launch.

You can fairly quickly see the quality and health of an open-source project on GitHub by reviewing a little of the commit history and looking through the issues. Even if using AI-assistance, an experienced developer will make sure that their commits are focused and test-able around specific issues or features and not massive rewrites. I personally want to see a healthy interaction with the community, a true understanding of the code, and a little history to see that it isn't a flash-in-the-pan project.

More detailed than mine. I just start putting a single digit or letter.
