VERDICT

Should I use Infinite Backlog?

Social video game collection tracker - infinitebacklog.net

Worth it. Buy if you're a gamer who wants detailed, social tracking of your collection and play history, and you're comfortable backing a small Patreon-funded project. Skip it if you need enterprise support, offline access, or if you're actually shopping for a software development backlog tool.
