Show HN: Retrodex – Retro game collection tracker and game encyclopedia

I was looking for apps to track my retro game collection and everything looked.... really dated and not great. So I spent the last 5 months making my own. I've made a lot of apps for other people over the years, but this is the first one I've made for myself. iOS and Android. Let me know what you think!

Nice job. I know Gameye is pretty popular for personal game inventory management, though it’s definitely a form over function website (to put it tactfully).

Personally I think you’re artificially limiting yourself by not making this a web application. For inventory management, I wouldn’t want to be tied to an app that I can only use on a tiny mobile screen.

		thank you! trying to add a little form to function was definitely the starting motivation :) You have a good point on no web app and you're not the first to ask. I imagine at some point I will get there, but I didn't want to try to do too much at the start. Dealing with inventory on tiny mobile screen is why I put effort into the tablet versions of the app as well.
