Hey everyone, quick update focused on making things run smoother!

Hey everyone!
I added a new feature that recommends games based on what you're into.
Here's the gist:
How it works: It looks at the games you've loved/liked/favorited, figures out which tags you're drawn to, and suggests games accordingly. It automatically filters out stuff already in your library or games you've disl...

2025-09-06 10:26:32 +0000 UTC View PostSome complained that popular games dominate the browse page while quality new/underrated games get buried. So I built something about it!
It shows games with 4-50 reviews and 3.7+ rating - basically quality games that deserve more attention but aren't mainstream yet.
Hey everyone! 👋
Major improvement to how game rankings work in GameStoryLog - now using Bayesian Weighted Ratings!
The old system had a problem: I was using a minimum 20 ratings condition to prevent new games from dominating rankings, but this created an all-or-nothing situation. Games eith...
