#AlternativeFrontEnd

"I run #AnnasArchive, the world’s largest open-source non-profit search engine for shadow libraries, like #SciHub, #LibraryGenesis, and #ZLibrary.
Our goal is to make knowledge and culture readily accessible, […]and preserve all the books in the world"

"In this article I’ll show how we run this website, and the unique challenges that come with operating a website with questionable legal status, since there is no “AWS for shadow charities”."
