    They're switching to being a Plex-style bring your own content app, so you'll need to pirate your own comics and then just put them in a folder. It's becoming just a reader app for cbr or cbz files.

        Straight from the horse's mouth. Also, read the original post, Kakao is also going after all forks.

          I doubt corporate lawyers are intelligent enough to understand forks can then be hosted on websites other than GitHub tbh. i wouldn't be surprised if a fork emerges when this situation settles, just not on GitHub

            They're going to be playing whac-a-mole for sure. IMO, the most likely outcome is that a number of major forks are also toast, new forks in made the next couple of months are likely to get DMCA-ed, and a new successor will emerge later this year that barely resembles Tachiyomi as it is, has a bunch of lame compromises, and will only have a tiny sliver of the userbase or developers that currently exist.

            Just like what happened with Vanced, basically.

              Revanced is definitely better than OG vanced
