RedReader has never been monetized. They don't have servers to support and distribute for free on f-droid and the play store. It's a small open source project and an influx of users won't change costs for them. The app acts purely as a reddit client for each user and doesn't need a go between server. They accept donations through Patreon and you can find the link on their GitHub repo.

In the case that reddit eventually cuts off their api access too, they're planning on adding support for Lemmy, HackerNews, Tildes and RSS in a future refactor but that's probably not any time soon.

Looks clean and the screenshots look like it supports multiple libraries. Their demo site won't log in but I might spin it up this weekend and play with it. I still probably don't really have a use case for it. I'm always going to need calibre on the desktop. Ubooquity is another that I tried but still had the same lack of use. One of these days I might want to move to a web based solution but not really there right now.

I set up calibre-web on my home server but didn't use it for very long. I've got my books separated into fiction, nonfiction and technical libraries and calibre-web could only handle one library database. I would have had to run multiple instances to get the different libraries served. I also still had a need to use calibre on my desktop so it was necessary to reimport the database from my desktop into calibre-web to keep things in sync. If you're going to manage everything in the web interface it might work for you. It was just kind of unnecessary for my needs.

RedReader has been granted a non-commercial accessibility exemption and will not shut down. QuantumBadger is planning long term changes to support Lemmy, HackerNews, and Tild.es alongside Reddit in the same app.

If it ain't broke...

Arch here as well. For me it's rolling release that's the selling point. I've maintained the same arch install on my desktop for five years with minimal maintenance required. The only reason it's not ten years is I built a new PC and didn't carry forward my old root drive. Arch is much less work than is advertised once it's up and running. No dist upgrades or reinstalls when a new release comes out. Just keep it updated and pay attention to the website in case something requires manual intervention to update.

Sounds about right.

A quick press of down is supposed to call the sages to you (as well as the horse) but in practice it feels pretty useless. Your idea of holding down to open a selection wheel would be great. The horse could be on there too for that matter.

Definitely agree about the sages. It's nice that they are out and assisting in combat but I accidentally trigger them all the time because they walk in front of me when I'm trying to pick something up or they're too far away when I need them or they're all clustered together and I can't get the right sage selected. There were four champion abilities in BotW and it would have been so much better to reuse those controls.
