Sucks…
tl;dr
Tachiyomi will no longer be actively developed. It may continue to work for you for the foreseeable future but there will be no support for it nor the official extensions.

While many will be understandably angry or disappointed in our lack of backbone or perceived selfishness
I’m angry and disappointed, but it is not because awesome people stop dedicating their free time to provide a free product, it’s because some money hungry corporation decided to bully less powerful individuals who didn’t even do anything wrong.
And it’s not the first time that this company did fucked up stuff…
🖕
Their reasoning is sound. They don’t want to defend against a corporation for a hobbyist project. There’s already going to be a fork so that’s good I guess. I just hope jay forks it for a J2K version.
Maybe one of the forks will take off
Likely. If not, there’s always Dantotsu.
The Streisand effect of this all is great. I can’t be the only one that found out about this app (and the repos) because of the stupid law suit right? Amazing that they went after the container instead of the contents.
Can’t wait for Glad or Rubbermaid to be C&D’d when the cops find contraband in one of their bags/bins.
What even is Tachiyomi?
Edit: manga reading app, it also lets you follow sources and tells you when new episodes are published.
Perhaps one of the forks will take over.
RIP Tachiyomi, time to try out Kotatsu
Well, fuck.
This is obviously sad and frustrating, but
P.P.S. I think someone on Reddit owes someone else $100 now.
Where can I find this juicey reference?

If anyone interested, i don’t really give a damn about like anything
When the police tries to stop my motorbike, i just continue riding
If you need any person who will officially show middle fingers to any authorities, send me a message
Upvoted, only meme comments are officially supported
What a cowards approach. Closing up shop due to legal threats is one thing, but then just lock the discord, and official reddit so people can’t discuss the decision amongst themselves because they can’t face their own actions, what a bunch of sad sacks.
The days in between the last update for the app and this decision is comical. Just constant questions about this extensions change and people worrying that this was the end of Tachiyomi and the support staff literally saying “If you think we are dying then just leave” shows a toddler level of professionalism and empathy.
4 days…

At least they’re aware of their deficiencies
How about you spend tens of thousands of dollars you don’t have to defend a hobby project in court?
Against a corporation that has a shitload of funding in a tech illiterate court
They didn’t even fucking try the bare minimum of just refusing to comply. Besides, it’s such a comically baseless case by some fucking worthless gook company. It doesn’t cost tens of thousands of dollars to tell them to shove it up their ass, at the bare minimum.
Kakao is one of the biggest Korean companies, their app is used over there as common as Whatsapp is in the west.
So entirely irrelevant in the US?

I’m mainly annoyed they didn’t even try the absolute bare minimum of “just say no”, and treated everything kakao did as 100% honest and legitimate. Like, it fucking obviously isn’t. At least don’t publicly call this shit a good faith claim.
