retroshelf

retroshelf is a play-tracking and discovery app for retro handheld players. It gives each player a public shelf for the games they are playing, finishing, reviewing, and replaying, with device context included. Instead of keeping notes scattered across handhelds, spreadsheets, Discord posts, and memory, retroshelf turns sessions into a browseable history: what you played, when you played it, how long you played, and which handheld you used.

Retroshelf allows gamers to track their gameplay across retro handheld devices. It captures every session automatically and provides a timeline overview of games played, notes left, and progress made. Users can also see what other players are engaging with, including which games are popular and what devices are being used. Users install a small plugin on their retro handheld devices. This plugin automatically logs sessions as users play, noting details such as game title, duration, and the specific device used. The data is then compiled into a user-friendly timeline that showcases their gaming history and current trends within the gaming community. Retroshelf is designed for retro gaming enthusiasts who use handheld consoles. It appeals to those who wish to keep track of their gaming history, share experiences with other players, and discover popular games across various handheld platforms.
