GameVault

GameVault is what happens when I point the same archival impulse I use for infrastructure at games.

It’s a personal library and review system for tracking what I own, what I’ve played, what I meant to get back to, and what was actually worth remembering after the credits rolled. I wanted something that felt more like a curated shelf than a storefront tab left open too long.

The app pulls game data from IGDB, keeps local library state in SQLite, and gives me room for notes, ratings, and lists that feel like mine instead of rented metadata. It sits a little outside the rest of the stack, which is part of why I like it. Not every project has to justify itself as productivity.

Right now the public repo is the cleanest way to see it. The hosted instance stays semi-private because hobby software is allowed to be domestic.
