Backloggd Plus

A userscript that extends Backloggd with extra game information, richer UI, and quality-of-life improvements — without leaving the site. Compatible with Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, Greasemonkey, ScriptCat, and other managers that support the // ==UserScript== metadata block.

Status: early (0.7.21). Backloggd enrichment + list badges + Steam / SteamDB → Backloggd buttons.

1. Install a userscript manager (Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey recommended).
2. Click the install link below — your manager should open an installation prompt. Install URL:

Manual install

1. Open backloggd-plus.user.js in this repository.
2. Copy the entire file contents.
3. In your userscript manager, create a new script and paste the code.

Updates

3. Push to main (or create a GitHub Release).

Supported pages

How it works

Backloggd game page                    Steam / SteamDB app page
       │                                      │
       ▼                                      ▼
Enrichment rows (Steam/MC/Links)     Steam: .apphub_OtherSiteInfo
       │                             SteamDB: nav.app-links → .btn
       ▼
storesearch → appdetails

SPA navigations on Backloggd use Turbo events, MutationObserver, and an href poll.

Required permissions

Development

Local workflow (Violentmonkey)

1. Clone this repository.
2. In Violentmonkey, install from the local backloggd-plus.user.js file.
3. Enable Track local file before closing the install dialog.
4. Edit the file in your IDE — changes apply after a page reload.

Local workflow (Tampermonkey)

Tampermonkey does not track local files natively. Options:

• Reinstall from URL after each change, or
• Use a local HTTP server and temporarily point @updateURL / @downloadURL to http://localhost:... during development (do not commit local URLs).

Configuration

Constants near the top of backloggd-plus.user.js can be adjusted as features land (cache keys, debounce intervals, API bases, etc.).
