itch.io

I have! There is literally no hand off... I think you misunderstand. Its literally free advertising for Itch. https://itch.io/t/5738561/coming-q1-or-2-2026-command-center-v38-universal-deskt... 

Hello itch.io community,

I’m interested in exploring an official partnership between my app, TradesafeAI Command Center, and itch.io. My App will have a games section, and I want Itch to be part of it. I’ve read the community rules and understand this is not a direct line to site admins, but I’d like advice from others who have pursued partnerships or have insight into the process.

Has anyone here successfully established an official partnership with itch.io for their app or studio?

• What steps did you take, and what should I expect?
• Are there best practices or contacts I should be aware of?

I’ve reviewed the documentation and searched for similar topics, but I’m looking for more detailed guidance or shared experiences. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Dropping this here early because I want the gaming community involved before launch.

What I'm building:

Desktop command center (Electron) that's domain-agnostic - YOU configure it for your workflow. Not just for gamers, not just for traders - it adapts to whatever you need.

The gaming angle:

Built itch.io integration as the default gaming hub. Click "GAMES" tab → itch.io webview opens with full theme integration. You get premium desktop experience instead of browser tabs.

Why post this now?

Because I'm a solo dev and I want to get this RIGHT. Gaming is a first-class feature and I need real feedback from gamers before public launch.

What's already built:

✅ Modular system (Apps, Widgets, Tools, Themes, Terminals, Games) ✅ 11/15 platform features (auto-update, crash recovery, themes, marketplace) ✅ 13 integrated apps (Discord, Twitch, YouTube, Reddit, Spotify, etc.) ✅ Canvas game engine + 4 demo games ✅ Theme system (25+ visual combinations) ✅ Game UI infrastructure (50+ CSS components)

Current status:

• V3.8, 80% complete
• 1+ year development
• Solo dev, closed source
• Free + optional pro features
• Launch target: Q2 2026

The opportunity for itch.io community:

• Early influence - Tell me what gaming features matter BEFORE I ship
• Cross-domain audience - Platform attracts traders, streamers, developers who also game
• Premium experience - Not another launcher, it's a universal workspace where gaming is first-class
• Built-in promotion - itch.io ships as default gaming app to all users

What I need:

1. Interest check - Would you actually use this?
2. Feature requests - What would make itch.io integration compelling vs browser?
3. Beta signup - Want to get notified when download drops?

Not asking for:

• Money (it's free)
• Community development (I'm building everything solo)
• Your time (unless you want to give feedback)

Just gauging interest and getting feedback before I finalize gaming features. For now, just want to know: Is this something the itch.io community wants? 

Drop a comment if you're interested in testing when it's ready.
