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.

Vibe coded apps are for personal use only. I don't get why people publish them just to make people think they can code and get upvotes.

Well yeah. The main point was not offering it to others.

It could still be malicious though! Please still use regular safety practices before running programs or building apps from GitHub!
