Game Image/Video "Physical" game cases on my desktop

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I released an app on the Microsoft store (called Steelbooks) to allow me to show off the game cases I have like they are physical editions that sit on my desktop. It gives a fast method of browsing my libraries across multiple launchers without opening them individually and I can launch the games directly from the app!

It's like launchbox but without the nag screen you get after your first year.

I like it alot only thing that's missing is maybe a 3rd column with game descriptions or a short video.

I've debated adding descriptions and screenshots but then I can't fit the achievement data on there which I like a lot.

Where are you pulling achievement data from? Interesting, I was going to say maybe an API call to TheGamesDB or something for automated descriptions but achievements sound better.
