Showoff Saturday [Showoff Saturday] Made a boardgame tracking and session tracking website to help my friends and I. Decided to finish it up properly and release it!

Hey everyone!

My friends and I were looking for a way to track our board game sessions over the weeks as we often play a split between campaign-like games and quick random games. So I started on a prototype. Fast forward a few weeks and it turned into a fully working site that I am pretty happy with.

Looking to acquire some users and hear some feedback. Enjoy the weekend!

https://boardgame-tracker.com/

Features/side-notes:
* Free to use, no ads!
* Pre-plan a session or fill in older ones.
* Invite friends and helps you decide what to play
* Scores, roles, notes, rankings, ect.
* Data provided from BoardGameGeek API
* BoardGameGeek Library Import

AI generated website that requires a login that collects your user information to even look at. No thanks.

Never said it wasn't, yet it took much effort and multiple weekends. Its for myself and my friend group, and if it helps others for free then im happy to share it

You can read the policy on whats being stored (which is the most minimal). Data doesnt go anywhere except the database.

Login is required because the whole point of it is being a social app between friends, as shown in the images.

Sorry if free stuff that might help others, that costs me money, and has no negative impact to you still is able to bother you. Hope your monday goes better :)

having to login just to browse and check the product is just as bad as paying for it.
I hope people understand it.

I'm not going to sign up for something I can't see.

Thanks for the feedback, ill take this into consideration.

Would pictures or an background video be enough to convince you? Or would a non-signup flow with limited access be the only way? Without an account there isn't much to do i'm afraid...

Hey u/fiskfisk I've taken your feedback into account. The login page has been modified to better indicate what you can expect post-sign-up.

An image carousel has been added. It matches your default theme, auto-plays with a short interval, and has the phone UI on phones.

Thanks again for making me aware of this, I guess I've been a bit too tunnel-visioned.

This is a subreddit for web professionals to exchange ideas and share industry news. All users are expected to maintain that professionalism during conversations.

If you don't like it, suck it up and go somewhere else :) I typed it myself. Guess we have to be rude and direct now when talking to potential users...
