    Being “private” and having a discord is like an oxymoron.

    I only see a front end on GitHub. Is this just a libgen mirror?

      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
