Hi,

Really enjoying the site, however would it possible to have a more compact view of a person's collection. This could just simply be a list of the games you/they have or maybe a bookshelf view where you can only see the spine of the game cases on a shelf. Since most game cases for each platform generally follow the same style then it would make identifying the platform and game very easily. (It could also help people actually organise their physical copies IRL)

Thanks for reading,

If it wasn't clear just let me know.

What is your main objective with having a more compact view? Is it simply to be able to view a large number of games at once, are you trying to scan through your list and find something specific, etc? Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just trying to pinpoint the specific need so I can take it into consideration :)

You may have already seen it, but you can toggle between the table and shelf views currently. The shelf view might be closer to what you're after, though it's probably not as a compact as what you're describing. And if it's a "once-in-a-while" kinda thing, there's always the Excel export option.

Showing spines is an interesting idea, but it would have to be something the site would generate since it would be a huge undertaking to find them all, not to mention digital-only games wouldn't have them. Generating them isn't a problem, it's actually quite easy, the real problem would be dealing with extremely long game titles :P
