Painting a tunnel onto the inside of the fourth wall and running into it full tilt since 1994
Okay, so. This whole thing about a site like Goodreads or bookwyrm.social, but for TTRPGs. What do you want to see from such a site that you aren't seeing from the general-books ones? What are you not seeing from RPGGeek that you'd want to?
(And were you aware that RPGGeek exists) (And that there's an open-source goodreads for the fediverse and maybe we just want one of those)
I dived into this a while ago as I was trying to make a personal readlist/collection manager/pdf store (not knowing what I want is probably a reason I didn't get much done).
I dived into the bookwyrm source code trying to understand what their ontology was for books, and what their source of truth was for books, and was kinda sad to learn that there's no ontology, only ad-hoc stuff (as far as I can remember) and that books are user-defined. Ie, there is no way to say "I read this stuff whose canonical source is something.itch.io/something".
Anyway, that doesn't answer your question, but I have three quarter of a semantic gateway for itch and dtrpg, and this is the first time this is half relevant enough to mention :)
No idea if I'm using the term properly, but what I meant is I have a web service that exposes itch and dtrpg stuff as semantic web data (rdf and json-ld). The idea being to have a unified api/representation for games across various sites, so I can build things on top. For example a tracker of games I've read and played, with data for games coming from these various sources.
