i said annoying ad-free i should have clarified i meant no popup or redirect ads - and yes there are plans for scaling and we have a few different services like you saw sponsoring the project aswell

No its not a libgen mirror - we have our own collections and are torrenting from libgen + zlib aswell - and backend is going to be open sourced in the future once its finished and ready - right now the code is very janky and im too embarassed to release it lol. Theres still alot of additions to do to the backend and once that is done I will release.

We also have a telegram and signal group - the discord was just for my existing community who are primarily discord users aswell

also no Bookracy is not decentralised - it operates on centralized servers much like LibGen ect. This means that while it’s open-source and community-driven, our infrastructure still relies on traditional hosting, which can be vulnerable to takedowns or disruptions. However we've taken precautions for this and have a bulletproof proxy server which also caches inbetween the storage server and client

Is there any Upside over NexusSTC? Is it decentralised? bookracy has faster and unlimited downloads, lack of popup/redirect ads, and a more active community. also from my knowledge NexusSTC is more academic content whereas bookracy has more of a range of content

.ru was for precautions against DMCA and the russian federation thing on github was just jokes because we had a ru domain
