RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Backlog has been released in "Early Access", and we have a new group.

June 20, 2018 - Gohrum | 0 Comments

Hello players,

Finally, after a couple of months working in a new Backlog, we have released an Early Access version for everyone to test. This update is our biggest update ever, and we have rebuilt (again) the site.

This time for real, the Backlog is now a website instead of a Chrome extension. Every user can now use the site in any modern browser. Also, players now have more filters, can tag games as completed, playing and dropped (without the need of creating a collection for that), and we also have those collections you love. Every collection can have it's own poster and you can share a public collection page.

We have added more new features, like current players for a game, improved game card, Opencritic data, etc.

Be sure to stop by https://steam-backlog.com , try it and tell us what you think!

What about the chrome extension and the new group?

The chrome extension will be shut down in a month, we cannot support any longer that version. Mainly because of our servers have drastically changed.

And this group, called "Backlog Chrome Extension" is replaced for a more fitting group called "S.Backlog", and you can join it with this URL:

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steam-backlog

Yours,
the Steam Backlog Team

Can you send me some examples of those unformatted dates? I couldn't find any one, and I need to see them to see how can implement this and avoid future bugs.

Add me to steam and we can talk by chat, or create a new thread in the group discussions, a bug report on github or a comment on trello (https://trello.com/b/fT77nsl3/steam-backlog) whatever you prefer.

thanks

I know there are some limitations, like some games using unformatted dates, like Q3 2017, or just August, 2008. If you need someone to help you with ideas on how to handle these cases, feel free to ask for my feedback again (I could also help you test it, if you want me to) =)

Thanks again for creating this, it's really great, and hopefully it will also suit my needs in the future.

From your Chrome extension page, I can see four tabs: Overview, Comments, Support, and Related Itens. I left it on the Support tab.

That's great news for me! Currently, I have a very long backlog on excel (my library is insanely huge, my backlog is more than half that size) because, except for games that take priority, I like to play/try games starting with the oldest ones. Currently, evertyime I get new games, I manually add each of them to my spreadsheet, with Release Dates so I can use it for sorting. It's a lot of work and a bit limited -- if I want to skip certain genres for a while, I have to do the research manually, for example.

Just to be curious, what support page do you mean? I looked everywhere and i couldn't find anything.

Answering your question, yes, we could fetch the game release date from the steam store page and include it in the extension information and maybe also do a sorting option. But we need to do some tests and thinking first.

Thanks for the feedback

I've asked this on Chrome extension support page, but I'll ask here, too:

I love how it looks so far. Do you think it would be possible to retrieve Release Date from games' store pages? If so, it'd be an awesome sorting option.

Thank you =)
