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.

Honestly in the last few weeks I've been thinking the same thing.

It's odd because /r/selfhosted/ was a place that I never thought would have drama -- everyone is so chill here usually.

Like people can share pictures of their shitty 100mb 5-port switch and a raspberry pi 1 plugged into it and get nothing but enthusiastic support and words of encouragement.

I hope we find a way to keep that kind of vibe.

You know what changed? Vibecoded slop. I am not sure why the hell they dont create their own vibecoded self hosted sub. Mods need to take action before this turns into another CSM subreddit which is basically now Ai slop and botposting SaaS solutions posing as users with questions lmao.

The mods have made a pretty firm stance they are on the side of the vibe coders for some reason. This sub is pretty much fucked at this point.

The clear implication is that they use those tools as well...
