This is a Python script I've been playing around with - it copies your "owned" games from BGG into a collection in NeoDB.
I'm considering expanding it with plays but need to see how that works in NeoDB - I'm not sure if you can set "played" multiple times, it might work better to set as played once and add a note with each play.
Today, we sat down and reviewed NeoDB, a Fediverse review system that lets you track books, movies, music, tv shows, games, podcasts, and more. There's some really incredible ideas beneath the surface.
I gave my initial thoughts here but I thought it worth boiling down to a few features I (possibly selfishly) would like to see:
Lemmy login (and other Threadiverse devices like Mbin/Kbin and perhaps PieFed but the lack of an API may be an issue) - you can already use your login from a number of other Fediverse services.
Import IMDb lists - you can import Letterboxd ones.
As both features are already running in NeoDB (just for other websites) it should lower the bar for these changes, compared with starting from scratch.
Shining some light on review platform NeoDB, Mastodon launches some features to better support journalism, a first version of Ghost joins the fediverse, and more.
The main story this week needs some introduction, as it involves a platform that seems to be virtually unknown in the English-speaking side of the fediverse, even though it has been around for a while, and actively being used in the Chinese-speaking side of the fediverse. NeoDB is an platform that allows people to ‘manage and explore collections, reviews, and ratings for various cultural products, including books, movies, music, podcasts, games and boardgames’. It is a huge scope, and NeoDB has a large amount of integrations with other products.
NeoDB has had a full fediverse integration for a while, with reviews federating out, and comments/likes federating inwards to the platform, as well as the ability to sign up for NeoDB with an existing fediverse account. All of this is not news in itself, but worth mentioning, both for context as well as a suggestion for people to check it out.
