Tachiyomi will no longer be actively developed.

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.

      I mean the eff can only do so much to defend people who didn’t even fucking bother in the slightest to defend themselves and just rolled over at every turn

      Was the case issued in Japan? From what I’ve read the legal system there is famously one sided, criminal cases have a 99.8% conviction rate.

        IANAL but since they used the word “threatened” instead of “I’m getting sued”, no case is being filed.

        Pretty sure that if they were actually getting sued they’d already be radio silent.

    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.

    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.

    There’s already dozens of forks. There was before all of this even started. Sad to see it go, but the app itself and how it functions will pretty well certainly go on. Tachiyomi isn’t even an app that needs routine updates, it’s the extensions that do. So existing setups will probably work indefinitely so long as extensions continue getting updates…

    So, sounds very “oh fuck” but for end users probably means literally nothing changes. Unless something breaks the functionality of the app, which really just means the reader and library and everything, it doesn’t need active maintenance. Bugs might crop up occasionally, but everything looks fine as of now.

      For now, this is true. But those forks get updates from Tachiyomi (changes in Android / security fixes / feature updates / bug fixes) so they need a new base.

      It seems important to follow the Mihon rebrand. Some forks, SY and AZ, announced they will rebase off Mihon (it’s in the #faq of the Mihon discord server https://discord.gg/mihon)

    This is a big part of why I dislike consolidating downloading and viewing.

    I’ve been using PerfectViewer on a tablet for viewing for ages. I’m sure there’s a better one and would be game for recommendations, but I am very used to this app and its quirks.

    There exist any number of ways to download and sync the chapters to my device. I currently mostly use the mangadex-dl script and a syncthings folder and it’s no trouble. And all my read chapters I can just move into an archive drive where I’ll have them if anything ever happens.

    This is standard practice with media. You use something like MPV for viewing and the downloading is handled elsewhere.

      i either download shit locally, or stream from a server I run. (maybe a little spotify, since it’s not known to take half your library “because licensing”)

    R.I.P tachiyomi, I have used it for years. Kind of sad to see it go. Are the forks also abandoning development ? I have been using the TachiJ2k fork for the past 3 years or so.

    I guess I will be shifting to kotatsu soon.

      TachiyomiSY will still be actively developed. No idea about J2K but I read somewhere that the dev will implement third party repo support sometime next week so I guess that’s a sign.

        SY devs have announced to develop a new app that won’t be just a tachiyomi fork.

        @everyone Update we now have a name. Mihon (見本), Logo is being made by the same guy who made Tachiyomi's Context: Coming to terms with the practice of 'tachiyomi' but not wanting to have all of their books flipped through, bookstores started designing books and magazines labeled ‘Mihon’ (ie. samples) for people who engage in ‘tachiyomi’.

          Yeah Mihon is the successor to Tachyomi but TachyomiSY’s dev also clarified that he’ll still be working on SY as its own thing.

            I don’t know why they want to continue working on two different things when one clearly tries to be a successor.

              I use SY and I get the sense that Bobby is more of a fast and loose type while the Mihon dev is focused more on polish. My assumptions are based on the unpolished nature of SY features and the Mihon dev saying “some of us liked plain Tachiyomi” [sic].

                I just downloaded TachiyomiSY before a week and I liked how it was better than TachiyomiSY in feature wise. I think Bobby is a dev who focuses more on features aspect. So if the other dev focuses on user interface, I hope it might be a good pair.

                more options are definitely good if the developers are different, i hope the devs aren’t burner out by developing two applications serving the same purpose.

    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.

    Here’s to hoping j2k stays actively developed. Unlikely, as j2 himself already had pretty low drive for it already. (｡╯︵╰｡)

    Where can I find this juicey reference?
