Hey HN, I’m the solo developer of Search to Play, a social bookmarking platform for gamers — kind of like Letterboxd or Goodreads, but for video games. You can log your games, track your backlog, write reviews, and follow others. I’m building this as an alternative to spreadsheet tracking or platform-locked tools (Steam, PSN, etc). Would love your feedback! Happy to answer any questions here.

Hi HN! I've built a web that takes your Steam game library and generates a 3D city from it. Games become buildings, playtime determines height. So your most-played game is a massive tower and that game you impulse-bought during a sale and never touched is basically a parking garage. There's also a world view where every player's library is a building on a shared map. About 7k people on it right now, you can fly around the whole thing. You can try this on https://thesteamcity.com Built with Next.js, React Three Fiber, and Supabase. Works on mobile too. Hope you like it!
