Demo Update v0.7.0 - Notifications, Filters, And Icons (Patreon)

New to the Patreon? All patrons can check out the demo at backloggery.club. Non-patrons can look around but won't be able to use an account if they register. The demo's data is not connected to the current site and will not carry over to the public release. You can see current plans and known issues on the Trello.

v0.7.0 Patch Notes

New Features

  • Notifications: notifications are here... kinda. The framework is all there but you'll only get notifications for new followers right now. I plan to also have notifications for mentions/replies, DMs, and site news as well but those all need additional features in place before they can work.
  • Filter by sub-platform: instead of doubling the number of platform toggles in the filters menu, I opted to make the existing platform filter also filter by sub-platform. So, for example, if you filter by PS2 games, you'll see all games that have PS2 as either the platform or sub-platform. I think this still covers most use cases without adding any clutter but let me know what you think.
  • Filter memory: certain filter settings are now remembered automatically and used next time you view your library. Right now this only includes the Sort By and Group By Sub-Platforms options. I chose these since they are more a matter of taste instead a specific use-case. It is trivial to add more but if you want to request something remember this isn't a replacement for filter presets, which will be another feature down the road. These settings are saved per device, so if you access the site from your desktop and your phone they won't carry over between the two.
  • New Platform Icons: added platform icons for Steam, Epic, Series X, Series S, and PSP. Redesigned several others.

Tweaks

  • Games: redid platform display to take advantage of the wider layout and use horizontal labels. See image above.

Bug Fixes

  • Multitap: multitap loading now displays loading spinner instead of the "nothing found" dialog
  • Multitap: game entries now consistently use the full platform name instead of the abbreviation

I've also  adjusted the browser compile target. Please let me know if this let's iOS users unlock the demo. I have no way to test that myself so this might take a few tries. 😅

Getting ready for some spring cleaning here, digital and otherwise. 🧹 So next up, another round of bug fixes. (Exciting, I know!)

Sorry to report that it still isn’t working in iOS browsers. Both Safari and Chrome take me through the Unlock with Patreon, then says it is unlocked but I can’t navigate anywhere in the site.

Great work as usual. I love the new sub-platform filtering. It means I can add PC games to the PC platform with the storefront (Steam, Epic, etc.) as a sub-platform and still view games from an individual storefront with or without them being mixed in with the other PC games. I also like that platforms don't show up on your profile's platform summary if they're exclusively being used as sub-platforms. There is one more thing that would make this system perfect though. Back when updates were on Tumblr, you said that you plan on adding a toggle for physical and digital games, but I haven't seen any mention of this on Trello or Patreon. Is this still happening? It would certainly be a more elegant option than adding an entirely new platform just for downloads, like on the old site. It would be useful for both console and PC, because some physical PC games are redeemed through an account like Steam, and I like adding official emulation (e.g. Virtual Console) with the original system as the sub-platform (e.g. Wii > SNES and not Wii > Wii VC or Wii VC > SNES).

Yeah, the physical/digital thing has been discussed on the discord channel but I don't think it's made its way to posts. The short version is I agree a toggle is the cleaner solution. I think the main question at this point is if should be it's own UI element or just go under ownership. (Own physically, own digitally, etc)
