Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • awesome-love2d

    A curated list of amazingly awesome LÖVE libraries, resources and shiny things.

  • Such a great Lua gamedev framework! And there's lots of libraries in GitHub. Many collected on awesome-love2d so you don't have to build everything yourself.

  • love-makelove

    See dev branch for butler support (but may get rebased). PR-generating fork.

  • And tools like makelove simplify creating builds. Web builds aren't officially supported, are sometimes hard to debug, but are easy to create with makelove. My makelove fork even automates uploading to itch.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
