Hello everyone !

I've been working (well me and AI) on a app inspired by hydra launcher, gog launcher and Playnite

I loved hydra launcher and Playnite, but I wanted something that power user can be happy with (I'm a power user, who like useless feature)

Anyway, I got the project to make something from scratch after iterating and adding feature with base hydra, but it felt too heavy for hydra base framwork

And I learned that electron was... Electron ram hungry !

So I searched for a framework that was capable and lightweight, and found Tauri

The app is called : Game Index

I know a little bit of coding, I'm far from an expert, but I tried my best from my knowledge (and again help of AI) to optmise and make it less buggy as possible

The entire source code is on github, with full commit history, feel free to report any bugs, suggest feature or whatever you want there

Also feel free to fork, modify etc your own version

I'm just a guy who want a full featured app

Features of GameIndex :

\- Import from Steam, GOG, Epic, Rockstar, Ubisoft, Humble library or Local install (api based login or webview login for some others) (more info on GitHub)

\- Metadata automatically added via igdb/steam

\- Per game imported : Steam achievements, HowLongToBeat, Crackwatch, live + historical player counts Informations when availible, activity tracker, weblinks preview etc

\- Activity dashboard main page and per games stats and performance tracking (need Msi afterburner + RTSS to track fps, can be disabled in settings)

\- Torrent download engine integrated, with compatible source from you know where

\- Wishlist system

\- Deals from Xbox gamepass catalog + Is there any deal (include current giveaways)

\- Storage manager + emulator & mod footprint breakdown

\- News page with RSS feeds + custom rss feed

\- Hydra-backed storefront for games of the Week, top games and game to beat, community reviews & stats (only these from Hydra is used in Game Index)

\- Community & Friends social layer (planify, recommend, comment games, library compare etc)

\- Big Picture Mode (controller-first TV UI with rail navigation) (IN BETA !!! I Don't use such feature mmuch, it is far from perfect but I'll improve with time)

\- Emulators manager & ROM library tools

\- Mod manager (Steam Workshop & Nexus Mods integration) (Beta, maybe more feature will come into it but not sure)

\- Internationalization (i18n) & language switcher

\- Discord rich presence

\- Privacy & Data management in Settings

\- Theme gallery + custom accent picker (basic for now, may be expanded in future)

\- way way way More

Planned :

\- Improvement for Big screen/picture mode

\- linux support (only Windows for now) + steamdeck support (I don't have steamdeck so it'll be hard to test) (Think of bottles, faugus launcher, lutris style of control) (made some early testing fow linux, some feature will be limited sadly by how Tauri is handled on linux)

\- maybe more if people suggest ?

Precision

I know many people Don't trust AI stuff, vibe coding etc

But I want to be as transparent as possible, and if you don't like Ai vibe coded apps don't use it

This is just a tool/launcher/platform for whoever want to try, or want another alternative

Ai and Tools used for this :

\- IDE : Antigravity

\- Mostly Opencode, rarely kilo code

\- Model used : Mostly deepseek flash (old and new version), Hy3 and sometimes GPT Luna, gemini and claude opus

Ps : sorry if my English sounds Strange or broken or whatever, English isn't my native language

Ps 2 : I'm not an expert in comunication as you can see, if you have questions etc don't hesitate to ask

I'll also take positive and negative review

Ps 3 : I don't have signature for exe, so portable version may be flagged as a dangerous exe, go on virus total and you'll see there's one flagged threat, this one is caused by lack of signature (installer version doesn't have this issue)
