Sucks…
tl;dr
Tachiyomi will no longer be actively developed. It may continue to work for you for the foreseeable future but there will be no support for it nor the official extensions.

While many will be understandably angry or disappointed in our lack of backbone or perceived selfishness
I’m angry and disappointed, but it is not because awesome people stop dedicating their free time to provide a free product, it’s because some money hungry corporation decided to bully less powerful individuals who didn’t even do anything wrong.
And it’s not the first time that this company did fucked up stuff…

One of Tachiyomi contributors will fork the app and continue development

Hopefully their personal information won’t be found out by those lawyers, or they could also be threatened into stopping development. It’s sad to see how companies are bullying volunteers into stopping legal projects.
Edit: SLAPP suits are similar to this, where companies file lawsuits while knowing they’d lose, if the defendent had the time, money and stress tolerance to win the lawsuit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation

There are already a lot of other forks no?
I created one just for the hell of it. Call me Spartacus.
Sparty Kiss
I just had to look.
3.2k forks3.19k of those are inactive.
Please let reddit die already, why he post there
Their reasoning is sound. They don’t want to defend against a corporation for a hobbyist project. There’s already going to be a fork so that’s good I guess. I just hope jay forks it for a J2K version.
Maybe one of the forks will take off
Likely. If not, there’s always Dantotsu.
The Streisand effect of this all is great. I can’t be the only one that found out about this app (and the repos) because of the stupid law suit right? Amazing that they went after the container instead of the contents.
Can’t wait for Glad or Rubbermaid to be C&D’d when the cops find contraband in one of their bags/bins.

Tbf, what Kakao is doing isn’t legal
Yes, but to prove that you’d have to go to court and that requires lawyers wich can’t work for free.
I say lets DDOS their website and services until they fuck off. They are a illigal monopoly as well in Korea but their korrupt system doesn’t do shit against them.
No no, throw drugs in their HQ then go after them. The precedent set is that the container is the problem, not the source of the illegal things itself.
If we throw stuff in there it should be 20 tonns of Cocaine and that in every corner of their offices so that the entire company goes down.
DDOS is terribly illegal.
Thabk you but no.
You can do it if you want to. I wouldnt advocate the action though.DDOS is terribly illegal
Bro… We are in a piracy community… And shit is only illegal if you get caught in general.
Copyright vs federal jurisdiction.
I wonder for what you get a slap on the wrist and a fine and for what prison/jail time when participating.
What we do here with piracy for mostly personal gain is petty at best. That comment excludes the uploaders of such content.
Its not illegal if you don’t get caught… And especially not when you aren’t in Korea where the “crime” is committed…

Sailors do not enable abuse nor condone getting yourself locked up.
That’s stupid 101.
This is a big part of why I dislike consolidating downloading and viewing.
I’ve been using PerfectViewer on a tablet for viewing for ages. I’m sure there’s a better one and would be game for recommendations, but I am very used to this app and its quirks.
There exist any number of ways to download and sync the chapters to my device. I currently mostly use the mangadex-dl script and a syncthings folder and it’s no trouble. And all my read chapters I can just move into an archive drive where I’ll have them if anything ever happens.
This is standard practice with media. You use something like MPV for viewing and the downloading is handled elsewhere.
i either download shit locally, or stream from a server I run. (maybe a little spotify, since it’s not known to take half your library “because licensing”)
R.I.P tachiyomi, I have used it for years. Kind of sad to see it go. Are the forks also abandoning development ? I have been using the TachiJ2k fork for the past 3 years or so.
I guess I will be shifting to kotatsu soon.
TachiyomiSY will still be actively developed. No idea about J2K but I read somewhere that the dev will implement third party repo support sometime next week so I guess that’s a sign.
SY devs have announced to develop a new app that won’t be just a tachiyomi fork.
Yeah Mihon is the successor to Tachyomi but TachyomiSY’s dev also clarified that he’ll still be working on SY as its own thing.
I don’t know why they want to continue working on two different things when one clearly tries to be a successor.
I use SY and I get the sense that Bobby is more of a fast and loose type while the Mihon dev is focused more on polish. My assumptions are based on the unpolished nature of SY features and the Mihon dev saying “some of us liked plain Tachiyomi” [sic].
I just downloaded TachiyomiSY before a week and I liked how it was better than TachiyomiSY in feature wise. I think Bobby is a dev who focuses more on features aspect. So if the other dev focuses on user interface, I hope it might be a good pair.
No idea as well but more options is always good
more options are definitely good if the developers are different, i hope the devs aren’t burner out by developing two applications serving the same purpose.
RIP Tachiyomi, time to try out Kotatsu
What even is Tachiyomi?
Edit: manga reading app, it also lets you follow sources and tells you when new episodes are published.
Perhaps one of the forks will take over.
Here’s to hoping j2k stays actively developed. Unlikely, as j2 himself already had pretty low drive for it already. (｡╯︵╰｡)
JFC why? Fuck
Because even though it’s obviously perfect legal, getting harassed by corporations over a hobby project is a pain in the ass.
why?
due to recent events involving Kakao Entertainment Corp’s threats to both myself and others that have been involved with the project.
Greedy, this is literally
You buy digital items but you don’t own them
You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy
This is obviously sad and frustrating, but
P.P.S. I think someone on Reddit owes someone else $100 now.
Where can I find this juicey reference?
It kind of looks like his point was the dozens of forks and that even if the devs get harassed into stopping, there are alternatives sources for the same app.
nuh uh, he owes me 100 bucks
Well, fuck.
how wll this affect aniyomi?
in no way if the dev can still work on aniyomi
