Whats the difference between a debian base and ubuntu base? Just packages? Wouldn’t each distro bring its own repository source anyway?
Call me crazy but I like how debian handles things (apt and deb) but I’m not a fan of ubuntu’s snap everything philosophy. Will a ubuntu based distro bring that as well? Pop for example.

One of the pipe forks for me. One apk, simple to install, update and use. Also no accounts so the platform is used very differently. With pipe, I search for a video or playlist and piss off when its over. There’s no customized feed of videos I might be interested in, so I don’t get swallowed into it.

Ive not looked into it so I don’t know what kind of challenges they face. Theoretically, I don’t see where the problem is though…

The primary input is a users “wishlist” of things they want. Each thing is then compared against a master list which confirms it exists and when it should be available (metadata). This is optional, but offers a more rich experience. Lastly, each thing is queried against a torrent index to try and find it. Its a relatively simple procedure. I guess the only question is whether books appear on these indices or not.

After a quick glance at the notice on their site, it seems metadata was the problem… or more precisely, no work was being done to move to a new provider. It kinda reads like they lost steam and stopped developing it.
