What is Komga?

Komga is rewriting its web UI in the open, shipping the beta alongside the old one.

Komga's release cadence is dominated by NextUI, a ground-up rewrite of the web interface that landed in beta with 1.26.0 and is served next to the existing UI at /next rather than replacing it. The three patch releases that followed within 48 hours were almost entirely NextUI shakedown work — scroll restoration, selection behavior, stylesheets failing to load under Tomcat. Underneath the interface work the server keeps widening format support, with rar5 handling in plain Java and solid rar4 archives earlier in the summer.

What is Taskade?

Taskade is bolting auth, onboarding polish, and frontier-model breadth onto Genesis to make AI-built apps actually shippable.

Taskade has settled into its identity as a no-code AI app builder, with Taskade Genesis and the EVE assistant as the core surfaces. The April releases tightened the loop from 'describe an app' to 'hand a working app to a customer': real authentication, guided onboarding for clones, export download links, broader model choice. Each change is incremental on its own, but together they push Genesis past prototype-toy territory.

Komga is rewriting its web UI in the open, shipping the beta alongside the old one.

◆ Current state

Komga's release cadence is dominated by NextUI, a ground-up rewrite of the web interface that landed in beta with 1.26.0 and is served next to the existing UI at /next rather than replacing it. The three patch releases that followed within 48 hours were almost entirely NextUI shakedown work — scroll restoration, selection behavior, stylesheets failing to load under Tomcat. Underneath the interface work the server keeps widening format support, with rar5 handling in plain Java and solid rar4 archives earlier in the summer.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is running a long, deliberately cautious frontend migration: both UIs ship in the same binary, the feature gap is tracked publicly in an issue, and users opt in by URL. That arrangement should persist across several minor versions before the old WebUI is retired. The parallel v2 referential API suggests the rewrite is also being used to revise the server contract rather than only restyle the client.

◆ Prediction

Near-term releases should keep closing the NextUI feature gap issue by issue, with patch releases landing within days of each other. The old WebUI is unlikely to be removed before NextUI reaches parity and browser refresh stops falling back to it.

5.0

Taskade is bolting auth, onboarding polish, and frontier-model breadth onto Genesis to make AI-built apps actually shippable.

◆ Current state

Taskade has settled into its identity as a no-code AI app builder, with Taskade Genesis and the EVE assistant as the core surfaces. The April releases tightened the loop from 'describe an app' to 'hand a working app to a customer': real authentication, guided onboarding for clones, export download links, broader model choice. Each change is incremental on its own, but together they push Genesis past prototype-toy territory.

◆ Where it's heading

Taskade is racing to harden Genesis into a credible Bubble or Replit-class AI app platform. Auth, app users, and clearer errors are exactly the unsexy plumbing that distinguishes a demo builder from a production one. Expect the flywheel — Community Gallery clones, EVE-guided onboarding, automation connectors — to compound as more user-built apps become reusable templates.

◆ Prediction

Watch for billing/payments to follow GenesisAuth — once an app has users, monetization is the next plumbing piece. A Stripe-style component or paid-tier app kits inside the Community Gallery is the obvious next step.
