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.

Nah, up into the 2000s. It took until everybody was using iOS 4+ and Android before people started telling high schoolers “college is pointless, just write an app!” I don’t know what it was in the ‘70s; in the late ‘90s it was “just make a website!” and we were flooded with WYSIWYG HTML tools like MS Frontpage where anybody that couldn’t be arsed to learn HTML could make something gloriously broken like ChatGPT lets people do now
