Just a PSA.
Sorry to link to Reddit, but not only is the dev sloppily using using Claude to do something like 20k line PRs, but they are completely crashing out, banning people from the Discord (actually I think they wiped everything from Discord now), and accusing people forking their code of theft.
It’s a bummer because the app was pretty good… thankfully Calibre-web and Kavita still exist.
Quick! Someone add it to Open Slopware!
Man this list is depressing. Good to have handy though. Sad to see SearXNG and a few others on here.
Searxng? Fuck, guess I’m just not pulling a new container.
There is this that popped up the other day, but I haven’t looked into it at all to see if it’s vibecoded or not: https://github.com/fccview/degoog
Thanks, will dig into this!
Booklore is listed as an alternative to Calibre 😭
Damn it!!! 😵
Wait Calibre is there??? Oh my god no.
Fortunately this exists
It seems like the criteria for making it on there is fairly lax. Nextcloud makes a list by simply having an AI assistant as an optional (user-facing) feature, while none of the actual code appears to be AI-generated.
I’d be easier to make a list of all software that doesn’t use any AI at this point
Even if the “has an optional AI assistant” was not a thing, the repo includes an AGENTS.md file, which is also listed in the criteria, and more than qualifies it as slopware.
@lambalicious @jasonweiser Not sure seafile should be listed as an alternative. We couldn’t include it on Debian due to copyright sketchiness/plagerism…

Geez… problems never end, do they.
I’m barely active in Codeberg. Unless someone beats me by, say, end-of-month, I might file an issue about it; that said, I’d like to be able to offer at least one (1) functional alternative rather than simply +1’ing to the complains that this or that is Never Good Enough.
@lambalicious Syncthing is what I replaced seafile with, fwiw. Works great!
Especially since it is actually listed as an alternative to calibre there
