Any Itch.io Tool for developers?

I want to know if Itch has a Tool for game Developer and publishers same as Steamwork to integrate with the Itch App

Example: making an achievement System,rating,hours played,or using the User current Profile name.

is there any tool kit?

thanks

I doubt it. That would require all those features to exist in the first place. Unlike Steam you do not need the client, neither to download games, nor to play them. You can do all on the website and most games have no drm, so there is no need to fire up the itch app to run them.

There might be planned features. Best to check out the faq about the itch app. There seem to be some apis for online games, but it reads like you need your own server for that one.

I imagine browser games would be the first to get any integration. They can already be cached by the itch app in some way. At least playing them with the app counts as a download, as I read somewhere in the forum.

So I suppose it is best to make my own Achievement, User Name ,etc... by my own 

If there is no way to brag about the achievments, they are an ingame feature anyways. Though people do post screenshots and let's play and such. Steam has this whole ecosystem about people playing online together and being able to view profiles including achievements and comparing your own with other's.

Best I saw on Itch is some highscores.
