    So, I wanted to download a game I had on GoG last night. And apparently Galaxy doesn't work (what the what?). I tried for a long time to get it working, but no matter what I did, it would not work. I searched the internet for a while.

    I tried another tool I found online, and THAT didn't work either.

    And then decided to Claude my way out of this hole. 15 minutes later I had vibe coded goggle. It will Oauth to GOG and get a token (only ever saved locally!).

    You can then list your games, download and install them.

    I decided this morning to finish up the work, adding a README, release management, tests, linting, all the things a good dev should be doing.

    And it just works. I'm impressed with how quickly tools can be built which scratch an itch. I would have never sat down and hand coded this thing.

    Feel free to try it out, and post an issue if you have a problem with it or want more features. I've only tried it on MacOS...so Linux or Windows may completely fail, I have no idea.
