since its open source and the backend will be open source in the future (after i rewrite) i can still step away from the project and everything can be taken and hosted by a different person

having a .ru domain is just precaution against takedowns - none of the devs are russian its just the west and russia dont get along so takedown requests for a .ru domain would be ignored by russia
our model is just like the old movie-web, we are open source and if we are DMCA’d then we will take it down but our mirrors will still be up but i understand the opsec point and may move from discord to signal
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
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
im so lost…
yeah sure a little help on getting started would be great but ill get to it

ty i forgot to clarify❤
Bookracy doesn’t exploit the copyrighted material for financial gain, unlike typical piracy websites that might sell access to pirated content or host popup / redirect ads for profit And for the part of me commiting a crime its always innocent until proven guilty - if it can be proven im storing the books fair play but weve taken precautions against that paying through crypto bulletproof servers ect
