Introducing a new open-source shadow library!
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Hey everyone! 📚 I’m excited to introduce Bookracy, an open-source shadow library dedicated to preserving and freely sharing knowledge. With a large and growing collection, Bookracy is (annoying) ad-free, non-profit, and lightning-fast ⚡—plus, it’s fully open-source and powered by a passionate community. Whether you're a reader, researcher, or developer, there’s a place for you here. Check out our Reddit, website, GitHub, and hop into our Discord to join the conversation and help grow this movement for open access! 🤝❤️
Being “private” and having a discord is like an oxymoron.
I only see a front end on GitHub. Is this just a libgen mirror?
No its not a libgen mirror - we have our own collections and are torrenting from libgen + zlib aswell - and backend is going to be open sourced in the future once its finished and ready - right now the code is very janky and im too embarassed to release it lol. Theres still alot of additions to do to the backend and once that is done I will release.
We also have a telegram and signal group - the discord was just for my existing community who are primarily discord users aswell
Revolt.chat is a really solid alternative to Discord
ill check it out ty for the suggestion
