A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

Wow the same shitty step as Kavita... Kavita has an annoying floating donate button, can only disabled with Kavita+

A few features are only available with Kavita+... I am waiting for the point that new features are only available with subscription...

This is like cancer imho and the reason why I switched to Komga. I like to support via donation, but I want to choose when and how much I donate.

Maybe someone will fork GameVault and keep it opensource.

Thanks for the Komga recommendation, will have to try it out.

Not sure if it makes sense a €60/year subscription for visualizing via web a collection of pirated/cracked games (this is the old crackpipe, right?)

It makes sense for the devs :)

Yes this was Crackpipe. They renamed it

It is the old crack pipe but it already features way more than just visualizing your game collection and there are a bunch more features in the oven.

The 49€ a year have been selected very carefully and when comparing it to other subscriptions today, are actually pretty reasonably priced.

You don't need the subscription or it's features to use GameVault. It's designed to be totally optional and bypassable. If you enjoyed using it until now, nothing will change for you. See plus more like a "thank you" for a 5€ donation monthly instead of a real subscription service. You can compare it to stuff like patreon.

Good luck with that.

you do you, its just a warning because of potential malware, i'd personally rather self-compile than pirate something when i have the damn source-code.
