itch VS hb-downloader

Itch has their own app and so I presume they want folks using that instead of rolling their own.

Man, I can't even get the itch client to launch normally anymore. It just quits. This nonsense: here and here.

ITCH.IO: -Install Itch.io launcher: https://itch.io/app (just download and run the installer) -WORKAROUND: Itch.io launcher not working on gaming mode: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ufr30h/itchio_app_in_gaming_mode/ -WORKAROUND: Itch.io doesnt allow you to install Windows games through Wine/Proton: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/tynrsh/installing_windows_games_via_the_linux_itchio_app/ -If you still have problems with thr launcher you can download the games from the web browser or use a PWA to download the games ans then manually add them to steam ans use some tool like BoilR, SteamGridDB Decky Plugin or SGDBoop.

Then, depending on the game it may not open unless you move it out of the downloads folder. You might also have better luck using the itch app: https://itch.io/app

Many of the games under the category of “web” on itch io arent mobile or browser friendly. The exceptions are the pico 8 games and the few developers that take the time to make proper browser bindings and use supported webgl. If they dont inherintly make it run with wasm, try this https://itch.io/app

You can download it with https://itch.io/app , then you can resume the download. :3

itch.io does have an official launcher: https://itch.io/app

Itch.io is cool, but I just installed Xubuntu 22.04.1 and now the itch client crashes on launch. That's almost a year old. Just recently I made a comment about how "if itch can make a functional launcher for Linux, so can GOG!" Well. Stupid I have to launch a program from the terminal and not be able to use sandboxing.

While talonius is the original author of hb-downloader, the project is very outdated. You could take a look at the forks: https://github.com/talonius/hb-downloader/network

Don't use a ff extension. Use hb-downloader instead. It will pull DLL your bundles, put them in their own folders and check for duplicates. Then you just need to look in the folders named Ebook in each download.

I'm way late to the party here, but in case anyone is still looking for it, there was/is a bit of software on github called hb-downloader (https://github.com/talonius/hb-downloader) a fork of which was designed to integrate into Calibre (https://github.com/AEL-H/humblebundle-calibre-plugin) which also had a fork (https://github.com/mykelalvis/humblebundle-calibre-plugin).
