RomCrate started because I wanted a cleaner, faster way to manage my gaming library across different platforms. It’s not just a website; it’s a full ecosystem designed to track your progress, sync with major gaming services, and showcase your collection to the world.
Key Features:
- Massive Database: Tracking over 350,000 titles with high-quality metadata via IGDB.
- Cross-Platform Sync: Integration with Steam, PSN, and Xbox to aggregate your playtimes and libraries automatically.
- Personalized Timeline: A unique "Year Overview" to visualize every game you've cleared over the years.
- Privacy First: Full control over your profile visibility—keep it public to share with friends or private for your eyes only.
- Community Driven: Write reviews, check community ratings (and Metacritic), and see what’s trending in the gaming world.
The Tech Stack:
I’m building RomCrate in public using the latest .NET stack. I wanted to see how far I could push Blazor (Server/Wasm) and .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid for the upcoming mobile app.
- Backend: PostgreSQL on a private VPS (IIS).
- Auth: ASP.NET Core Identity.
- Safety: OpenAI-powered moderation for community content.
Open Beta 4 is Live!
The platform is completely free to use. I’m currently refining the UI and moving toward a full 1.0 release, which will include the official mobile companion app.
I’d love to get your feedback on the UX and the performance!
