i'm so fucking sad that a shitty¹ company was able to bully a 100% legal piece of FOSS to shut down.
It is THE best app for reading manga, and it single-handedly started my love and (healthy) addiction to reading manga lol. It's also one of the best examples on how a FOSS model is superior to any competitive proprietary one.
I hope so much luck to the devs and every contributor. Their work through all these years is immeasurable. Makes me regret a little for not trying to contribute to the community with some code at a time I was wanting to. Thanks for all the hours of fun reading manga. I'm sure at this very moment people are already organizing a fork to live on Tachiyomi's legacy, as is the spirit of FOSS.
There are already a few actively maintained forks of Tachiyomi. TachiJ2K and TachiyomiSY are two such popular forks which have several features not present in the original app. In fact, many hardcore manga readers in the community had already switched to them years ago. There's also Aniyomi, which not only supports manga but also watching anime via extensions, the same way you'd read manga in Tachiyomi.
So thanks to the power of FOSS, Tachiyomi already continues to live on and you don't need to wait for a fork.

Yep. I use keiyoushi and it works fine.
