Qt is not "basically chromium under the hood".
You might as well try to claim Qt is the same as Apple QuickTime...

Disappear? It's been less than a week. I believe you posted questions during the working week. The OP may well have a full time job and is producing the software, which I think is free(?), in their spare time. Even if they didn't respond for a couple of weeks because they were doing other things, it's a volunteer driven project

It may well be something they are doing largely for their own interest and uses; but making available to others.

They posted here specifically to request feedback, so he should be reviewing the thread and making an effort to respond to at least some of the people who replied.

For what it may be worth, looking at the OP's profile, it appears that the first message in this thread was posted on their one and only visit to MobileRead.

Exactly. However commits are being made on a regular basis at GitHub

So, I am building Bookery, an alternative inspired by Beets and Calibre.

Open to feedback!

As usual (and way too often, in my opinion), someone joins Mobileread, makes a promotional post...and then disappears into the ozone.

So why would we want to use this when the author cannot come back to support his work?

I'll take that as a rhetorical question.

So thread closed?

I guess this has something to do with GHCP enabling token-based billing two weeks ago because this is exactly when the pull requests have stopped

I can't imagine why it would be closed.

If the individual reappears, then it's conceivable that a few questions may be answered.

Anyway, enjoy the program at your own risk, amusement, time, interest, etc.

I agree that there's no need to close the thread. If anyone wants to try the program, they can post about it here.
