Short recap for those who haven't heard of Gameyfin yet (and a big thanks to everyone who already supports it!):

Gameyfin is essentially Jellyfin for your video games (hence the name). I know there are a lot of similar projects nowadays, but when I started developing Gameyfin, it was the first of its kind.

Gameyfin v1 was intentionally minimalistic because it met my personal needs at the time. However, as my own requirements evolved - and as users began asking for more features - it became clear that the old codebase couldn't support future development. So, I started building a completely new version from scratch, designed to be more future-proof and expandable.
