Instead, we’ve decided to incorporate the majority of Shoko Desktop functionality into the Shoko Server Web UI and create a single place to manage and view your collection. In addition to be being difficult to work on, it is full of basic design flaws and security vulnerabilities.
However, this doesn’t mean we’re scrapping the project or keeping the current Shoko Desktop, either, as it has been put into maintenance mode and eventually will no longer be supported. One of the major downfalls of the original Shoko Desktop was the fact that it was a huge and complex codebase that no one wanted to maintain.Īfter multiple discussions with the team, we’ve decided to stop development on Shoko Desktop 2.
It’s a lot of work for people contributing to a project in their free time. However, as we’ve continued to develop Shoko, our original intention to maintain and support two big projects and three separate codebases was something we no longer wanted to do. We switched codebases many times until finally settling on a web-based platform using a framework called Electron to create a desktop application. Over the years, these ideas turned into a foundation for creating a better program to replace the original Shoko Desktop, which pre-dates every client we currently support. Shoko Desktop 2 was first envisioned back in late 2016 and at the time was nothing more than a handful of ideas for improving the current Shoko Desktop. So with it being a new year, we thought it would be best to outline the current status on all of our projects, as well as talk about some new ones in development. Some of them we’ve talked about publicly, either on this website, on Discord, and on other platforms, and some we’ve only discussed internall amongst the team. It’s no secret our team is working on multiple projects under the Shoko umbrella.
