I’ve been using backloggery.com for too many years at this point. Any site that doesn’t offer an import tool is likely one I’m not going to switch to. Just too lazy to import all that data.
I only just migrated from backloggery this year too, so I know how you feel. It was a daunting prospect to manually move my 2000+ game list over, but I got it done. I’m actually updating both still, since it was so much work to setup backloggery in the first place and also serves as a nice backup in case something happens to one of the sites.
The way backloggd lets you write a daily journal entry in a calendar for every game you are playing is so good. Though I miss the homepage on backloggery, that one is still nicer.
Yeah, the homepage thing stood out to me as well. It doesn’t feel like it’s focusing enough on the games on currently playing and is just a “general gaming info” type of homepage.
Exactly. I love backloggery’s focus on the games you are currently playing. The games you are playing and the last status you wrote are front and center when you log in and its exactly what I want to see. I can only hope backloggd someday copies it.
Yeah, it doesn’t have an import feature but having an option to export to CSV was a big part of why I set up on Grouvee. Because there will inevitably be a next thing.
Well, that and I didn’t want a site with “backlog” in the title.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

I have been using HLTB as a backlog tracker too lol, I feel like I kill two birds with one site.
