Grouvee
Grouvee is a web app for tracking a video game collection, organizing games, and recording playtime. Its standard shelves are Playing, Played, Backlog, and Wish List, and users can add custom shelves. Games can be rated from one to five stars and reviewed; users can also follow friends, see what they are playing and reviewing, and browse or create community lists. Grouvee imports game data daily from IGDB. A Steam library can be imported with a publicly viewable Steam profile URL, and collections can be exported as CSV from settings. Users can embed a shelf on their own website with HTML and JavaScript. The free plan includes game tracking, shelves and lists, ratings, and reviews. Super Gold costs $20 a year and adds daily Steam syncing, on-demand refresh, ad removal, profile customization, early feature access, and a Supporters-page listing. New Super Gold XL costs $50 a year and adds a larger Supporters-page spotlight and podcast name mention to Super Gold benefits. The site is maintained by one person, Peter Corsaro.
