Playtime Tracking (like/with HowLongToBeat)
If I could look at my list of games and see how much of a time commitment they are at a glance, I wouldn't have to individually search them on hltb. If this is possible I really think that this would be amazing.

This is now in Early Access for Patron members. You can currently track play time and % progress, as well as some metadata like started/completion date and play style.
This will still be further refined before a general release but patrons can start using it today:
This will be expanded to include showing HLTB-style stats on game pages and throughout the library interface.

Display how long to beat and allow games to be sorted/filtered based on the how long to beat.

Hi everyone!
Good news. I talked to the owner of HLTB and got written permission to scape the site, as long as I don't abuse it. It's not guaranteed to always work but it could be "good enough" until an official API is released.
This means I will roll HLTB data ingestion to be part of this overall capability, as long as it works reliably.

I think this would be a nice feature to have - even if the system could pull an average number from HLTB, it would be useful to figure out what to play (if length is an issue).

By the way, I just want to say this site even as a beta it is now is superb. You people who are making this site are doing amazing work, and as long as you keep it up I can't wait to be a KTOMG hipster who gets to say "I had an account when they were in beta! Yeah, that's right, BEFORE they were the 6th largest website in the world."
What I am saying is you guys?/gals? are destined for success.
