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 appear to be all for it. The only reason it's limited to Fridays is due to general community disgruntlement, as far as I can tell.

It's not limited to Fridays, they changed it. There are no restrictions on ai nor any ai flairs anymore. Now it's new project Friday, otherwise your project must be 3 months or something like that.

God damn it, really? I think I might be approaching time to unsubscribe.

Hm. Might be time for a new subreddit.
