Q: Where are the downloaded binaries saved to?
A: They are saved to user://versions which varies depending on your platform. On windows it's %appdata%/Godot/app_serdata/Godot Version Manager/versions
Q: How is this different from Hourglass or Godot Manager?
A: Hourglass is a much more mature and featureful project which also does project management. Maybe the only advantage GVM has is that it also downloads news snippets from the official website :) Godot Manager seems to be a pretty mature and featureful alternative too. A new (Aug 2023) alternative is Godots. GodotEnv is a command-line only alternative.
Q: Why do you scrape godotengine.org/news instead or fetching the RSS feed?
A: When the feature was added the only alternative was a full feed with every piece of news, with no ability to only fetch the most recent ones. The godot-website team kindly added a json version of the news that fully fits the needs of this app. This is pending implementation #29
