Does anyone knows a good alternative to Lutris for itch.io? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Since lutris has gone slop mode I want to find an alternative, but I am yet to find a client that can automatically download, setup and update my itch.io library (the official itch.io software fucking sucks)

Why not use the official app? https://itch.io/app

He says that he doesn't like the official software.

I know it's unrelated to the original question, but.. What are the issues with the original software? Am I missing out on something if I keep using it?

Yes, and I ask why he does not like and use it. What's the issue with it? Would be good to know for myself. Plus, if we know whats the issue with the official software, we can make better recommendations.

Adding them to steam as a non-steam game, you can run them with proton as well
