Hi there! A new Update of Questlog just dropped. I improved the Reviews based on your feedback. And a small feature I always wanted to have. It's finally possible to rate a game without writing a review. So after you finished a game it's only one click to say if you liked it or not. Nice! […]

Ugh… Just got a "IGDB Partner Satisfaction Survey". The questions imply they want to change something to their free offering. Fingers crossed this won't be a premium API in the future. This would be a major disruption to many sites including Questlog. Most Gaming sites you all use today use […]

I'm reworking the Review/Rating system currently. One of the main feature request there was to rate a game without writing a review. I understand this now. It feels so much better. Thanks for all the feedback. It will still take a bit of time, as there's more to rewrite, than I thought, but […]

I recently updated to iOS 26 (It's about as terrible as everyone says, maybe more) and realized Questlog was kind of broken there as Safari 26 doesn't respect browser standards anymore. Colors were off and the color in the status bar of iOS was broken. I fixed this in the last update.

Funfact: All users combined (that have the Steam Connection active) have 21,905 games (combines, duplicates not filtered) synced via Steam. I guess it would be fun to put some anonymous statistics on a page. So I don't have to go to the database every time and look stuff like that up. But also […]

Hi there. Just pushed a quick fix for the automatic Steam sync. That didn't work because of a Guard that only protected that method in Production in a specific way. I just ran the auto-sync and it worked.

Ok, I created a project in my GitHub Repo to outline what is planned in 2026. (As everything is in German, it's private. Maybe I have time to make an open roadmap some time) This is the stuff I want to include before the end of the year, but as always it's not finished as I always take your […]

Hi there. 3 years ago I decided to release this project to the wild and pushed the button. Questlog 0.1.0 went live. Except my wife nobody cared for the first two days but then people actually started to join the project. Quickly my goal of 10 users in the first year was reached and more […]

Sometimes I think about building the complete Frontend new with #livewire. But I guess I don't have time for this. #inertia SSR doesn't work for some reasons for this project (I wasted hours because I tried to get it work) and I'm honestly sick of big JS frameworks. Some day I will do this […]

Hi there and happy new year! (Yeah I know it's late) Questlog 0.49.0 was just released introducing multiple changes for the Steam integration of Questlog. There is a Steam integration you ask? Yes, that's one of the improvements, it's much more visible now. Before the Steam integration was […]

I'm not exactly sure what the reason was, but after a framework update I got logged out. So I have to assume all sessions got killed. Sorry for the inconvenience. I know it's annoying but that was unexpected. If you have any problems logging back in, please let me know.

A small update just dropped. A user request from @73CC that will make their life as a Questlog power user much easier. And if you work heavily with Playlists (I know you people exist) this will probably be a nice little quality of life feature too. If you want […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Another year, another renewal of the Questlog domain. 💸 It's definitely worth it. I love this small community. Thank you for making this not only a hobby for me but also a passion.

Maybe I should tackle the biggest feature I'm planning as the next thing to do. Screenshots. I always wanted to add this, but I'm kind of afraid of it as it brings many challenges. Storage (Especially the size) and User rights (the images should still belong to the user, but I have to be able […]

Something I regulary wish Questlog had is private notes to games. And you know what? I'm the one that can change this. 😅 So in the morning I started working on this. I will keep it low key this time and iterate from here. I guess this will be extremely useful […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Put your sunglasses on 😎 — Light mode is here! If you have your system set to Light mode the next time you open Questlog the page will show you the new light mode. If you want to persist a specific theme you can to it in your user menu (Or if not logged in, in […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

It's so much harder to create a proper light theme than I thought. 😅 But I'm on it. I know some of you desperately wait for it so it will be released sooner rather than later. 😊

I'm currently preparing Questlog to add an optional Light mode. For this I have to adjust the colors and the CSS structure a bit. While I I'm doing this I had the idea to bring a bit more color to Questlog. What do you think?

You know what? Adding the Playlist search was quite fun. Wouldn't it be fun to also search for Events? I just did in 0.42.0. I layed the ground work to implement more searchable entities with Questlog 0.41 and to see how efficient it was, I just added Events to […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Missed the Opening Night Live and the announcements? No problem, all games and trailers are listed here in Questlog: https://questlog.app/events/gamescom-opening-night-live-2025 If you don't have time to watch the whole show (or don't want the moments between the trailers) there's also a […]

Look what just dropped — Questlog 0.41.0! You can now search for Playlists. A feature some people asked for a while ago and especially one user with over 150 playlists will like. This search is also implemented in the playlist picker when you add a game to a […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Hi there. If you have problems connecting to Questlog, it's not just you. We have some problems currently: https://status.questlog.app/ We try to fix this as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You may have noticed that images load slowly the last few weeks. I finally found the error here and everything should work fine. The background is: I save only one size of an image initially. You never see this exact file. But instead when an image is requested the first time in a specific size […]

I notices Questlog is a bit slow currently. I will look into that. Work is a bit stressful currently (that's also the reason for slow update progress), so I can't say when exactly. But I'll prioritize this. If I can't provide any updates at the moment, I would at least like Questlog to work […]

Love it. I just noticed that generated image version aren't saved correctly anymore and are generated on every load of the page newly. I don't think I have energy to fix this now. And the motivation is also a bit reduced when I don't even know if I can develop Questlog anymore. If anything […]

If anyone wonders why no games are added currently, the IGDB revoked access for the Questlog domain without any information. No mail, no notification, nothing. Only realized because I got so many errors suddenly. I'm on it. Let's hope the support wasn't completely replaces with AI. I really […]

Sometimes it's just hard to get motivated. For months now the Update Webhook from the IGDB goes down suddenly without any error message. So in this time automatic updates only happen sporatically via other methods I've implemented. For month I manually reactivate this now and am annoyed about […]

Hi there. The server just turned off? I don't really know what's happening currently, but I'm on it. Questlog will be back soon (hopefully 🤞).

Hi there. If anythings seems wonky (I mean wonkier than before) please let me know. I just published a new version without visible changes. But I updated the underlying Framework Laravel from Version 11 to Version 12. I tried to catch everything in before. But you never know :D

Speaking of mental health, I can highly recommend playing Wanderstop. It's really great, cozy and wholesome. And it definitely hits the spot for people suffering from burnout. I can relate so much to the protagonist. 😅 The soundtrack is also extremely good […]

Hi there. I've just decided to relase the finish date feature prematuraly. I don't have the time and energy to work it out completely currently, but I want you (and me) to be able to set the date when we've finished a game. So starting today you can set the […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

I have to say: I quite enjoy the discourse with you on features. It really helps me to think better about what I want to implement. Two hours ago I had no idea how to implement a finished date and was quite of afraid to tackle the issue. But now I have a pretty clear understanding of how I […]

I hope it's okay for you that I try to talk to you for some changes. I realized that I have many blockers because I have nobody I can work with on these changes. At work it's easy, there are coworkers I can talk with to get a better sense of my own ideas. But for Questlog? I work on it […]

I really wonder how I should implement the "Save the date I finished the game" feature, without making everything more slow. Currently it's two clicks to mark a game as finish. Click the Log button and click finish. Done. The Dialog closes itself. Now I have a […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Just a quick rough experiment. What do you like better. The current design or if the text is more freely below the image? (I really wish you could make polls here with images 😅)

Hi there, just a quick info: The server just got a spec update. In the last weeks the user count increased quite a lot and I saw especially the database got quite slow. Now everything should be fast again. 😊

Working with Google APIs is fun. They revoked the token I use for creating YouTube playlists for events without any notice. Love it. Will look into it. The stability of Questlog is not affected. Existing playlists age not affected. The creation of new playlists is pause though.

I just released another update. Questlog 0.36 brings some improvements to filters. It's now finally possible to filter games per play status? Ever wanted to know which action games from Nintendo you've finished? Now it's pretty easy to know. Also the new […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

I'm working on the last few bits of a small feature for the Events in Questlog I wanted to have for a while. I wonder what you'll think about it. But if nobody except me wants it, at least I build something where I think for years now, that it should exist for Game events. 😁

And yeah… Thank you all for your feedback to my post from before. This pushed my motivation quite a bit and I actually have fun again to work on something I wanted to implement for a while now.

I already like it quite a bit. Still needs a bit work (especially because the switcher currently is two radio buttons instead of links as I used it this way in the Steam importer) but the base functionality is there. I guess this is also the first place where […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Definitely something I wanted to do for a while now. Overviews by date for recently released and upcoming games. The current links on the homepage only go to the games listing ordered by date. It was a quick win back then, but I don't really like it. First […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Hi there. As you may have realized the updates on Questlog are quite slow currently. Despite a wave of depressive episodes this has just to do with me handling Questlog again like a work project instead of a hobby. Every time I dedicate my time to a specific update because of user feedback […]

Happy two years of Questlog! 🎉 I planned and started a blog post, but today I had the strongest headache for a long time, so I just write this post here and the blog post will follow tomorrow. 😅 But I just wanted to thank you all for your continuous support, feedback and general usage […]

They really just called it Nintendo Switch 2. https://youtu.be/itpcsQQvgAQ #gaming #nintendo #nintendoswitch #nintendoswitch2

Far from finished, but I guess this will be a handy feature in the future. Add multiple games quickly to a playlist oder game status. Focusing on small features currently to get stuff done. I want to implement some bigger things soon (The Review overhaul will […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

I wish you all an awesome new gaming year! Over the holidays a nasty small bug was brought to my attention and the first small update this year fixes it. If you created a playlist that had a "non-sluggable" name (Such as "..."), you weren't able to see your playlists anymore, as a slug was […]

Hi everyone. Maintenance work is planned tomorrow by my hoster. The timeframe is from 03:30 AM to 5:30 AM UTC. European folks are probably not affected by this. But US users will probably hit this timeframe a bit more directly. The page won't be down for the whole 2 hours but it can affect […]
