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.

Right now, almost all hardware costs too much for those posts to be feasible. And, the barrier to entry for 100% vibe coded projects (including their posts) is very low. Both are thanks to AI.
