This is just gonna be a Streisand Effect situation. Now I know about this app and it sounds pretty great.
- I sincerely hope so, just to imagine the shocked faces at the company that made legal threats to Tachiyomi, when it itself has no content. I mean how stupid can you be
  
  Imagine if companies could just sue and take down products just because they could theoretically be used to view pirated content (not to pirate, but to view it).

Does Keiyoushi seems like the best extension repo alternative right now? They of course have the pre purge extensions, and some updates, but their rules about not discussing alternatives to them seems anti-community.

Does anyone know more of the players in this power vacuum?
First I'm hearing of this drama. Guess I'll hold off on updating until the dust settles. Tachiyoma and Komga are amazing - glad to see they're not going anywhere.
- Update when you like The change is in live and does not effect installed extensions. It just makes adding sources harder.
  
  I lost some downloaded content and some extensions are broken (the files exist but the app fails to find them). It will probably work again soon.
