I'll save everyone a bunch of clicks and say that it's a project by Kovid Goyal aka the author of Calibre, the open-source eBook library management tool.
If you've never used Calibre:
It has a horrific UI and basic functions most users would want to do require following lengthy guides.
It has no ability to self-update. Goyal has made various excuses for this but it seems to mostly boil down to either he can't be bothered, or he doesn't know how. I can't find the post but at one point he was claiming it was "because of bandwidth costs." Apparently he's unaware of delta updaters, or even content delivery networks.
It has 'recipes' for downloading news from a site and wrapping this into an ebook for your reader. The recipes are implemented as part of the core program, not as a plugin. You have to update Calibre as a whole - a several hundred MB download - to get recipe updates.
His release engineering is terrible. He regularly implements new features, but his code quality and testing is poor so he's also constantly releasing to fix bugs that could have been hammered out in an alpha or beta or dev release. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was releasing new versions every week or two until 5.0 came out. I'm not aware of any other major open source desktop application with this sort of release engineering.
He arbitrarily decided to cease supporting MacOS X versions older than 10.14 with Calibre 5. If you're running an OS older than 2 years old on your Mac, you're screwed. There is little justification for an ebook library management tool needing such a new version of the OS. And again, because he puts all the recipes into the main program, if you're stuck on the older version of Calibre due to having a more-than-two-year-old OS, you're screwed.
If you're not aware of Kovid Goyal, well, it would be an understatement to say he's incredibly arrogant and pretty abusive, too:

"Just set your system proxy settings in a way that breaks everything else, because I refuse to implement it properly" is pretty breathtaking.
And then there's the time he declared that he wasn't going to migrate to python 2, and he could "maintain python 2 himself":

Some of this might be excusable if Goyal wasn't raking in enough money in donations to work on Calibre full time for the last several years (supposedly.)
