rxi indeed is awesome! Do you know in what language/engine his (her?) tools on itch.io are written? They all have an awesome pixelart look to them and I wonder if (s)he uses lua for them too.

The tools are all written in C and use microui[1] for the UI. The games are typically written in LÖVE with the exception of SCANLINE which uses Nim

First time I heard about 'lite'. I have to say the first impression is really great. Fast and smooth. Nice work!

also, just a sidenote which you might already be aware of, a lot of itch.io used to be written in Lua. Check out Moonscript, A language that is like the coffeescript of Lua (https://moonscript.org), and Lapis which is a web framework (https://leafo.net/lapis/) that can use Lua or Moonscript. Itch.io used to be built with both, I don't know if that remains true today.

    curl -sI https://itch.io | grep -i server
    Server: lapis

It's Lua. They use Love2D.
