IGDB Developer comments on site and redesign!
Hi, IGDB here! I'm the product designer and community manager :)
Thanks a lot for the mention! and likewise to GGapp, we're big fan of what they're doing and we quite often get to chat with the founder as the app is using the IGDB API, cool dude too!
Regarding IGDB, we're actually currently in the process of redesigning the entire website (desktop & mobile) from the ground up with new look and UI, with improved functionalities and new features. In particular we have plans to redoing our custom list which should be of interest to people in this particular Letterboxd thread ;)
Same goes for the apps of course, we have plans to go back and update them in particular the Android version. While the iOS app has the custom list features and a few other cool bits, the Android version was the very first app we made and is now lagging a tad (and as an Android user myself i'd be keen on making it a priority :p).
We're a pretty small start-up and a big chunk of last year was spent on developing a new version of our API, which we unleashed just before Christmas. Meaning that ideally 2019 will have a large focus on going back to develop to the website and apps. Stay tuned!
If you folks have any question i'm happy to answer anything, kinda new to resetera though so i'm not sure what flies in here.
Few handy links if i may:
Here's our Discord which is probably the best place if you're curious about the site, the apps, or the API: https://discord.gg/R39tttj
And a similar shout out to GG while i'm here, here's their Discord server if you want to get in touch: https://discordapp.com/invite/3QszNMW
Here's some screenshot of the upcoming redesign (subject to change of course, work in progress). We're pretty open and happy to discuss suggestions and features, drop in on Discord if you have any ideas you'd like implemented!
