If you're new, read on! If you're caught up, you can skip down to the changelog below.

Data copied from backloggery.com at 3:25PM ET on April 4.

==========================================

The new site remake is almost ready! If you want to help verify things, log in to the test site and see if:

  • You can log in and your account looks correct.

  • Your game collection look correct.

  • Your multitap follows look correct.

  • Your history looks correct.

  • Everything is usable and functions on your device.

  • You can think of any super important improvements that are needed before launch.

I have quite an extensive list of improvements and tweaks to make post-launch, many of which I still need to add to the Trello. So try not to sweat the small stuff for now. Thanks everyone for all the feedback so far and apologizes for not getting back to you all. My hands are fairly fried at this point.

==============================================

🚨 IMPORTANT NOTE:  the test server (backloggery.club) is still just temporary. No data on it will be saved long-term. Any changes you make there should be purely for testing purposes.

==============================================

🚨 IMPORTANT NOTE II:  If you would prefer your game comments to be converted into Reviews instead of becoming part of the expanded game notes field, change your backloggery.com footer text to "Reviewer" without the quotes.

Looks like games with a sub-platform are visible when looking at that platform's list. For example, if I look at my SNES games, I'll see two versions of Donkey Kong Country, the one on SNES, and the one on Wii U w/ SNES as a sub-platform (previously virtual console). Would it be possible to show games with a sub-platform only on their main platform list and not on both? Or make it an option? Apart from that, everything looks great, I'm super excited for the launch, awesome job! :)

The visual indicator for digital games is great! maybe it should also show up in compilations if all the games inside are digital? Also, once you select the platform it'd be nice to be able to select the breakdown in the "found" bar to quickly filter the unfinished/beaten etc. games, like you can do in the old site and the main page from the new site. All that said, you did a really good job, take good care of your hands, they deserve that rest!
