project will no longer be under active development due to recent events involving Kakao Entertainment Corp’s threats to both myself and others

In the upcoming days:

  • Our core GitHub repositories will be taken down
  • The official social media accounts will be closed
  • The official Discord server will be repurposed into a general community for those who are interested in staying

    The internet hosts piracy websites. Time to shutdown public internet.

    Also for those with copium, Barinsta was never developed again. Say goodbyes to Tachiyomi.

      The internet doesn’t “host” anything, as much as also Tachiyomi doesn’t.

      The developers are archiving the project because Kakao is not satisfied even after they removed the default extension integration. Kakao have no legal grounds to advance more requests, but they can because for Tachiyomi’s devs this was merely a hobby and they are not interested to start a legal war, even if they would win.
