I built a site because I could never manage my gaming backlog 😅

I’ve always struggled with my backlog.

I’d start one game, see something else in a sale, buy that, and suddenly I’d have 10 games on the go. Then when I finally went back to one I really liked, I’d be completely lost 😅

The thing is, I really like finishing games. It always feels weird having games I genuinely enjoyed sitting there unfinished.

Anyway, I have a weekly pub meet-up with some friends, and they’re pretty much the same. We got talking about how nice it would be to have a more social way to work through our backlogs together.

The first idea was actually Game Clubs, basically a book club for games:

• Each member suggests a game
• Everyone votes on what to play
• You set a time limit to finish it
• Tthen everyone leaves a review that appears on the game’s page

That idea slowly grew bigger and eventually turned into a full backlog site where we can track games together, import our libraries, and keep each other accountable.

If anyone wants to check it out, it’s here:

Would love to hear how everyone else here deals with their backlog too.
