To be honest, we don't even have a desktop app currently, though we do plan to make one. IMO Playnite is a behemot and it's very hard to overtake it, so maybe the best course of action would be to create a plugin to help sync their library data with ours (?). We both use IGDB data so it shouldn't be too hard. They also have a more robust store sync system going for them.
But feature wise, the main difference is that we're targetting all platforms instead of just PC. You could have GameNode in your phone when you only have a Xbox/PS console for example.
If you have any suggestions on what we may do to set us apart aside from this, please let me know
- StrangeSound 1y agoHey, I'm actually in the process of building a desktop application that does this. Perhaps we could chat? I'm also leveraging IGDB. I have focused mainly on windows/Mac/Linux, with my main driver being steamdeck compatibility
- lamarcke 1y agoSure! Do you have Discord or anything similar?
- kikki 1y ago> IMO Playnite is a behemot and it's very hard to overtake it Why do you need to overtake it? Playnite is open source, you could contribute to it to make it better.
- lamarcke 1y agoI meant that in a "we're building our own alternative" kind of way. That's why i said it makes more sense to contribute with a plugin for it.
