1 Add the games to our libraries individually, even if they are not downloaded, when in a bundle.
They don’t yet support hiding, so manual adding may be their interim solution. I’m pretty happy to curate my bundle additions instead of filling my library with stuff I don’t want to look at.
2 Make the app aware of what we’ve downloaded in the bundle download pages
This would be nice but not really that useful? Like if there was #6, would you really need this?
3 Support multiple downloads being initiated at the same time
You mean clicking install on multiple games? Or clicking Download on multiple pages on the bundle page? (Both work for me.)
5 Make the Bundles page easy to get to from the landing page on the app.
It’s unfortunate that “Bundles” are not under Library, but once you’ve added everything from a bundle maybe it’s not useful. You have to go Explore > username dropdown > My library > My purchases > Bundles.
However, I wouldn’t want a top-level item in the app for this bundle – especially after #6. Maybe “bundles with unclaimed items” under library?
6 Add some sort of bulk download button
If you go to the bundle download page (https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality and Click download), you’ll see this note:
Note: We will be updating this page soon, we know it’s difficult to navigate so many games. We know you want a button to add show everything in your library. No need to reach out. Any new games added to the bundle will automatically show up here. Thanks!
Seems like that’s the most important bundle-related thing they’re working on. Or at least the main thing they’ve publically and prominently promised.
8 Please inject your JSON parsing server hamster with steroids
I wonder if you’re getting JSON-RPC timeouts because you’re trying to click so many games? I did a couple pages on and off over the course of a day (just looking for interesting games – not everything) and never hit any problems like that.
