SavePoint, done!
· Web development
After a hard 6 months of working, going back to school, completing exams, and many late-night coding sessions, I’ve excited to announce that SavePoint, my modern game collection platform, has officially completed its first phase, and is now released!

Well, what is SavePoint? SavePoint is designed to be a web-first app built to modernize how people collect and manage video games while also helping retro game stores to digitize their inventory, pricing, and storefronts.
I first envisioned SavePoint as a personal tool to track my own games. But after seeing how many retro stores still rely on outdated systems like spreadsheets or pen and paper, I realized there was a real need for something more modern. SavePoint aims to be that modern solution for both collectors and retro gaming businesses.
For collectors, SavePoint makes it effortless to scan, catalog, and value physical or digital games. For stores, it’s a way to modernize operations, sync with online marketplaces, and reach more customers.
Right now, I’ve just completed Phase 1 out of 4 which implements some basic but core features including:
- 📜 Browsing all 1,500+ games available in our database
- 🗃️ Viewing game details, including photos, description, reviews, and more!
- 🔍 Searching for games based on their titles, genres, or publishers
- 💻 Full mobile and desktop compatibility
- ✨ And a modern, thoughtful glassmorphic-card design
I’ve even already started work on Phase 2, focused on game collection management, which will include:
- 📷 Barcode Scanning: Quickly add physical games by scanning barcodes
- 👤 User Accounts: Create accounts to manage and sync your collection across multiple devices
- 💰 Game Value: Check the market value of games using PriceCharting data
- ⏱️ HowLongToBeat: View playtime estimates for each game
- 🎮 Game Compatibility: See compatible platforms for your games platform
I hope you try my website out, and I’d appreciate any feedback!
