Hey HN,

I've been building games on the side for a few years and got fed up with the asset chaos. Unity packages I bought and forgot about, Blender models scattered across folders, sprite sheets from bundles I never unpacked. I'd spend ages hunting for something I knew I had, or worse, buy it twice.

So I built Asset Hoard. It's a desktop app that gives you one searchable library for all your game dev assets. Runs locally, no account required, your files stay on your machine.

Built with Tauri, Svelte, and SQLite. Supports 40+ file types with visual previews: 3D models (.fbx, .obj, .gltf, .blend), sprites with animations (.aseprite, .krita), audio with waveforms, textures. You can inspect Unity .unitypackage and Godot assets without importing them.

It's free during beta. Looking for feedback from anyone who's got a mess of assets they'd like to organise.

Happy to answer questions about the tech stack or the product.
