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! 🤝❤️

people are giving you way too much grief about other things, but you are most definitely monetizing the site.

ive made nothing from the advertisement on the home page - instead we were donated a server by snowcore to act as our proxy and caching server. No monetary gain has come from the advertisement and the storage server is paid out of pocket since we havent gotten much donations yet
