    i’m so fucking sad that a shitty¹ company was able to bully a 100% legal piece of FOSS to shut down.

    It is THE best app for reading manga, and it single-handedly started my love and (healthy) addiction to reading manga lol. It’s also one of the best examples on how a FOSS model is superior to any competitive proprietary one.

    I hope so much luck to the devs and every contributor. Their work through all these years is immeasurable. Makes me regret a little for not trying to contribute to the community with some code at a time I was wanting to. Thanks for all the hours of fun reading manga. I’m sure at this very moment people are already organizing a fork to live on Tachiyomi’s legacy, as is the spirit of FOSS.

      There are already a few actively maintained forks of Tachiyomi. TachiJ2K and TachiyomiSY are two such popular forks which have several features not present in the original app. In fact, many hardcore manga readers in the community had already switched to them years ago. There’s also Aniyomi, which not only supports manga but also watching anime via extensions, the same way you’d read manga in Tachiyomi.

      So thanks to the power of FOSS, Tachiyomi already continues to live on and you don’t need to wait for a fork.

        oh yeah, I heard about the already forked projects before, certainly awesome that people already have that option. I do use Aniyomi, and it’s pretty damn good.

        For some reason I’ve never felt like I needed extra features that the main project didn’t have, so I’ve never looked out for forks. But looking at some of the forks right now they seem pretty good as well and do have features that would be super useful to me. Certainly will try it out.

        FOSS is so amazing.

        Are we sure TachiJ2K will still be developed? I really hope Kakao won’t threaten them too.
