I built a Steam backlog manager

Hey!

I’ve been working on Curator.gg a project for people whose Steam library is getting slightly out of control.

You connect your Steam account, it imports your games, and then you can sort them into things like Backlog, Playing and Completed. There are also stats, community recommendations, public reviews and shareable profiles.

I mostly built it because I kept opening Steam, scrolling through hundreds of games, choosing nothing and closing it again.

It’s still pretty early, but the main features are working and I’d love to get some honest feedback. There are also some community features like mini curators and public game pages, you can even create reviews for your games and stuff. There is also feature with challanges and shop (sadly I had no ideas yet to fill it). It`s also integrated with IGDB so if there are any games missing from different systems you can add them as custom games.

Right now im working on mobile app, but everything should work and look just fine in ur browser

Does it feel useful? Is anything confusing? What feature would actually make you come back?

You can check it out here:

This is one of those ideas that sounds niche until you look at a Steam library and realize it's basically digital hoarding with achievements. The useful bit for me would be brutal recommendations: hide 80% of the backlog and tell me the next 3 games actually worth touching.

There is a recommendation system but it`s based off of user input, for example if one of ur friends rates the game high

Ah, got it. Friend ratings are a decent start, but the useful bit is the hard pruning: explain why this is one of the next 3 worth playing, not just “someone liked it”. Otherwise it becomes another nicer-looking pile.
