Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity
- “When I press install on my pc, it just downloads from my server and I can start playing on my pc. I can uninstall anytime and and then reinstall anytime I want. (Kinda like a selfhosted steam).”
- “I'm thinking of setting it up to download into a network-accessible 'library' for my gaming PC to install from.”
- “Given SQLite doesn’t play nicely on NFS volumes due to locking, dropping pgsql support is a limiting factor.”
- “I’m tired of this stuff relying SQLite... I’d get db locking constantly. It’s on an ssd and has plenty of resources for it but there’s too much contention if I open a couple windows.”
