Reply To: Is HebrewBooks Holier Than Sefaria?

I looked into it a little bit now.

The founder, Brett Lockspeiser, is 100% secular. Presumably the co-founder also is, but I can’t find that information. Because it was a start up thing, it’s almost guaranteed that Jews were developing on Shabbos to create the platform. Siddurim made with machallel Shabbos are a big problem/question of whether or not you’re yotzei using them. I’m not sure if there’s any comparison here though.

I’m comforted in knowing that if it were assur to use, we would have all heard about it by now.
