What made you use Kavita over komga? This is only the second time I've read about Kavita, so I'm quite curious for any user experience.

I'm currently setting up a new server and used Komga until now, but I'm willing to switch.

It seemed like it was under more active development, and it syncs with Tachiyomi, it seems to be a better implementation to me

Really? It feels like there's a new komga version every other day 😅

Will definitely go and check out Kavita tomorrow.

Komga is very stable and about to hit v1.0. it and Kavita have different structure for organization (komga's being 1 folder is 1 series and kavita's is some folder and some metadata). Komga is focus on comics and manga and has a great web reader with fantastic integration with tachiyomi and tracking manga/comic progress that sounds to their site and tachiyomi. Kavita has a few features komga does not, such as the ability to read ebooks, send then to Kindle, kobo, and others. They do seem to have more updates but are also still beta now. Both are great but have their strong suits.
