Ever since Readarr was officially discontinued, many forks and replacements have popped up. I’m currently running pennydreadful/bookshelf, which seems to be chugging along. Faustvii/Readarr is also around but seems to not be actively meaintained??
There’s also Chaptarr, which looks promising, but I’ve heard concerns about it being vibe-coded and such (see rreading-glasses: “I do not endorse the vibe-coded Chaptarr project.”). Does anybody know to what extent this is true, and what the code quality is like?


I use shelfmark (link: https://github.com/calibrain/shelfmark) with my hardcover API for metadata, connects seamlessly with calibre-web-automated (link: https://github.com/crocodilestick/Calibre-Web-Automated) for imports, etc.
Calibre-Web has always been interesting to me. Can it be deployed in such a way as to keep a Calibre content server also accessible? (e.g. for sync with the desktop app/Koreader/etc.)
