Standing on the shoulders of giants

All modern software projects depend on others. Here are some that we think deserve extra credit for helping us along the way.

The honourable mentions

Legendary

FOSS Epic Games launcher

Without the incredible reverse engineering work from the legendary launcher Monarch would not have the support for EGS which it does. Please make sure to give them some love and if you can, perhaps some donations.

IGDB

Video game metadata database API

To support the number of games that we do, we rely on external parties collecting the information for us. Therefore we also want to thank igdb.com for the incredible database and API, which we use to build up our own.

Iced-rs

Cross-platform GUI library

Obviously no one would use Monarch if it was still just a CLI tool. Initially Monarch was written in Tauri, but we decided to go big or go home, and rewrote the entire application in Rust, which was only possible thanks to libraries like Iced.
