Removed Kavita since they started Kavita+ and the floating donate button, which can only be removed if you pay. Never again
I use Komga instead
Kavita+ is for features that have an ongoing cost for the devs. They have to spend their own money for running the servers hosting the backend of the k+ features, as well as for access to APIs. They are not features that could have possibly been free.
Also, I'm not sure why an unobtrusive donate button is a downside to you..
Don't like plus features or paid features at all. I donate frequently to a few open source projects, but I decide if I pay and when I pay and how much I pay.
The donate button is floating, that is annoying and even if you donated, it won't go away. You need to buy a subscription. Sorry but no, there are better softwares out there
Immich got a shitstorm because of the license button in a corner without any paid features. Now it is now called support (which is better imo)
Alright, then while you contribute to open source projects dying out I guess I will continue being reasonable about it. Immich had a shitstorm around it because they used rather deceptive wording at first, Kavita is pretty damn clear about what its methods of monetary support are.
Also, there is nothing stopping you from hiding the button via uploading a custom theme which hides the button.
No CSS skills are stopping me from hiding the button. Maybe a checkbox to turn it off would be the better option, or move it completely to the about page
Even in Immich you can turn it off without paying. Subscriptions are like cancer imo, 5€ here, 10€ there.. No thanks, other projects still exists since years, like Codex or Komga
And those projects will either never have Kavita+ features, or will die out because they do not get enough one time donations from people to keep up those features. The Kavita devs are litterally providing everything for free, other than things that cost them money monthly to run. You being but-hurt about that is nonsensical.
