Sadly mods don't have their gamebanana IDs on their config.toml file, so I'll have to decide how to work around that

Diva mod manager is pretty popular and is open source, it might be worth taking a look at what they do

Commit a549e9a99c is the first step towards this 🎊
Only tries to fetch metadata from config.toml, which is not guaranteed to have good metadata (if at all)

I did some research

Most mods only have the metadata that's on the config.toml, however some have a meta.json file.
I don't think it's a standard thing, but it's worth getting data from there for now
