    No its not a libgen mirror - we have our own collections and are torrenting from libgen + zlib aswell - and backend is going to be open sourced in the future once its finished and ready - right now the code is very janky and im too embarassed to release it lol. Theres still alot of additions to do to the backend and once that is done I will release.

    We also have a telegram and signal group - the discord was just for my existing community who are primarily discord users aswell

      The backend is so janky that you are embarrassed to release it? I’m all for free knowledge but that is concerning.
