Cold Games Organizer V4

Welcome to the “reboot” of the Cold Games Organizer, build on more recent tech, with a new interface. Less features to start with, but I’ll be working on that as time goes on, the basics are there to make a list of your games collection.

Should you encounter a bug, you can open an issue for it over on Github (created for V3, but I accept reports for all versions there) or write me an e-mail to developer@coldgamesorg.de.

I have also created a Discord server that you can reach through this link
