    What do you mean private and open source? How does that work?

    Edit: my bad I misunderstood the meaning of private in this context. Ignore my dumb ass lol.

      It’s an app whose source code you can access so it is open source and it only stores your data locally without communicating with any servers so it is private.

    @foss_android @openreads @books This looks really cool, but I always worry about the longevity of things like this. I don’t want to move all my library deets across for it to fold in a year or two. Sorry if that seems disrespectful but I’ve been burned before. Or am I being silly?

      Your worries are perfectly fine. I would say that being open source is what makes Openreads so great. The app is licensed as GPLv2 so everyone can use it and modify it forever. Not like other proprietary apps that the second they stop making profit can be closed with no option to migrate to any other service.
