I have seen on the landing page that drop supports different metadata providers but the wiki only lists Giant bomb, it would be nice to have igdb as metadata provider as it has more games than giant bomb. I could help with the integration of it

We actually have this implemented already, it's just not in the stable release so we haven't updated the wiki. The integration is here if you want to look into using it on the nightly build: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop/blob/develop/server/internal/metadata/igdb.ts

Hey @GerardPolloRebozado , I’m Aden another contributer of the project.

At the moment we are gearing up for our 0.3.0 release, which should be about 1 or two pre-releases from V1 since we are getting pretty feature compete for an initial release.

In terms of what you could help with, what would help us is if you could get our News system implemented into the client (🔗: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop/pull/31#issuecomment-2765585274) luckily the server side implementation is complete including the Server API, although I’m unsure if client API specific routes exist yet, maybe @DecDuck could sort that one out.

For reference our tech stack is very similar across both the server and client, we both use Nuxt, TailwindCss, Vue, Typescript, and on the client we use Tauri & Rust for the client (It’s basically like an electron app but better with a rust backend).

If you need help with anything in your dev stage feel free to check out the dev-chat in the discord and we really appreciate your help.

Thanks, Aden 🙏🙏🙏
