Most game trackers (like Backloggd, or Letterboxd for movies) have the same massive flaw: they lock your reviews and play history inside their private databases. If the site shuts down or changes its business model, your data is gone. I built Skylog (skylog.social) to completely fix this. It’s a comprehensive game logging tracker built on ATProto (the decentralized network behind Bluesky). To use the site, you need to log in with a Bluesky account. I know requiring a specific account can be annoying, but it permanently solves the problem of losing your tracking history. Here is why: You actually own your data: Every rating, review, and game log you create is saved directly to your decentralized data repository on the AT Protocol. (To clarify: this data does NOT spam your Bluesky timeline. It’s stored as custom app data on the network under the hood. It isn't visible on the standard Bluesky app, but it is permanently attached to your account). True portability: Because your data is open on the network, any other developer or app can access your gaming history if you connect it. You are never locked into Skylog. Instant friends list: Your social graph carries over automatically. You don't have to start from zero and beg your friends to add you. Features I've built so far: Deep Tracking: Log what you play, leave 1 to 5 star ratings, write reviews, and tag whether it was a replay or what specific platform you used. Shareable Stat Cards: While your data is stored quietly in the background, you have the completely optional ability to generate a beautifully styled "stat picture" for any game log or review (kind of like a mini Spotify Wrapped for that specific game). You can easily share this graphic to your timeline if you want to show off what you're playing. Gaming Stats: The app breaks down your gaming habits and gives you detailed overall stats on what you've been playing over time. Global Chat & Lobbies: I built out a global chat and dedicated multiplayer lobbies, making it super easy to find people to jump into a game with right now. Massive Catalog: The search pulls data from IGDB and RAWG, so pretty much every game in existence is there with high-res posters and metadata. If you already have a Bluesky account, onboarding takes one click. If you don't, it takes two minutes to sign up and guarantees you never lose your game logs to a closed-off app again. I'd really love for you guys to try it out and tell me what you think. I will also be sharing the source code in the coming weeks for anyone interested in how the ATProto integration works.
