I laughed for a good minute or two reading that. I was skeptical of a whole rewrite of Booklore in Rust coming so quickly after Booklore’s downfall.
I’m loving Grimmory for now.

Interesting news regarding BookOrbit. I was having some difficulty deciding between BookOrbit and Grimmory and now I don’t have that dilemma anymore. :)

I remember reading that thread and what a shitshow. I ran grimmory for a while and the metadata scraping was inconsistent, especially with goodreads. Bookorbit seems to work so I’ll keep using it for now. I’ll probably end up switching back once bookorbit gets too bloated with all the stuff he’s been adding lately.
