    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. 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.

    It’s sad to see companies threatening completely legal projects, knowing that the volunteering developers don’t have the time and money to win a lawsuit against a large company with lawyers. It’s nothing less than bullying volunteers, or similar to SLAPP suits.

    Edit: typo

    This sucks. Tachiyomi was by far the best app for reading comics, none of the paid options come even close in terms of options or ease of use.

      It’s not like it’ll stop working for local files.

      You could still get the actual comics anywhere, convert em to .cbz, and chuck em in some folders named by series. In that sense, Tachiyomi should keep working forever.

      It’s really only the streamlined online sources that’ll break over time, and no new features will get added.

      Lucky for us, looks like it’ll be getting forked and live on as “Mihon”.

    unfortunate to see, it’s been a great app for a long time. Anyone know of an alternative that’s good? I mostly just read on mobile through firefox on mangafire now, but would love if an app offered a better experience

      I’m using kotatsu but I mainly read the marvel and other English comics so idk how good it is with manga but it’s got a similar sources list to tachi.

        I feel kotatsu is better because you don’t have to download all those extensions like tachiyomi did
