Hello All - I am borderline familiar with the site - I’ve added games to Giant Bomb so that they appear here, and I’ve done my Steam import. So, getting along nicely!
I had a few small ideas that I wanted to throw out, for feasibility feedback, or to see if these are in process, perhaps. I know it’s a one-man gig, but hey, why not try and help.
Grand old games (GOG.com) import. You can import from Steam - can you import from GOG as well? Or is this an API that could be built?
Amazon wish list import or sync. Same thing here - extract Amazon wish list, filter on video games, import those entries here into the wish list. I guess that’s scarier - people don’t want to give out amazon user/pw info, since it could be used to buy things. So maybe a manual import only?
Can Grouvee even handle import, or is it export only? I noticed the Platform drop down, and now I want to batch-edit 300 games to indicate the right platform(s). But I can’t - I have to edit each one, right? And unlike adding games to shelves, which is done and saved while navigating the list, that Platform puppy sends me to a full list reload every time. Is that normal?
Speaking of “Platform” - if a game has only one platform, can it just default to that platform? I’m adding Wii U games that don’t exist anywhere else (yet, possibly never), but I have to specify the Wii U-only game as on the Wii U platform. Seems like an extra step.
Apologies if these are all elsewhere, I did a quick look but couldn’t navigate to an Enhancement subsection or find anything like what I am used to from forums. I wouldn’t mind some help there too!
I think GOG has an undocumented API somewhere to get this kind of info, but I’ve never really looked to hard at it. I don’t really want to get into messing with undocumented stuff since it’s very subject to change.
I don’t really have this one on a list to do currently. I don’t know if there are other people that would want it or not!
Exporting is currently the only option on Grouvee. However, a batch edit is the next thing on my todo list. I’m also working on making the platform update feature not reload the page every time you edit a platform.
