SFML projects / KunLauncher - it's like sfmlprojects.org but not as good

It's basically the poor man's Steam. While developing apps and games, I got tired of repackaging and sending zipped game files to people for testing, so I developed a launcher to automatically manage games for people. Originally, this was just to make distributing my own tools easier, but it's grown quite a bit since then. It'll probably never be anything really useful, but it is neat.
it stores all it's useful files in a folder called `bin` in the same directory of the executable, so it's best to put it in it's own folder before running.
It uses (more accurately abuses) SFML's FTP capabilities for file retrieval. It is very slow, be patient with it. Almost everything aside from SFML and the SettingsParser was written by me, off and on, over the course of about two years. I have not made the source available, however, because I'm incredibly insecure,
It might crash a lot, I don't think it will, but if it does it has lots of debug output that can be obtained when attached to a bash session.
When the little cog icon is rotating in the bottom left corner, you can't do anything, so it's best to just leave it alone. The "all apps" state is very slow to load the first time. After this, it should load quicker, but it will still be a bit slow. "my apps" should should load quite quickly.
looks like my file exceeds the maximum file size allowed on this forum. that's quite unfortunate. I don't suppose you'd mind downloading it manually?
