Ran into issues with the UserScript version, so decided to start working on a browser extension, instead.

https://github.com/ericchase/browserextension--improved-itch.io-collections-mana...

i've researched through a few old threads, and will continue to do so. you are right, a better collection viewer seems to be what people really want, and i'll try to make something good enough for that. the simple toggle buttons were the most pressing needs for me at the moment

it's bundled code. i'm using a library for indexeddb, because i really don't want to learn how to use it properly

well, i've decided to start building it out, and i have the first 2 features i want completed for lists of games. i'll be working on a floating panel design for game pages and collection management. i welcome anyone who would like to join in! i am even willing to teach a bit.

the code can be found here: https://github.com/ericchase/browseruserscript--itch.io

you can test the userscript by installing "io.itch; add favorite,hide buttons.user.js" via ViolentMonkey on Firefox from https://ericchase.github.io/browseruserscript--itch.io/out/. more instructions can be found in the repo readme.

if i make significant progress on this project, i'll eventually turn it into a full browser extension

hi, i too have been wanting a better collections feature. personally, i think the existing collections feature is completely non-user friendly.

i've been playing around with the idea of writing a browser extension that adds a new collections feature on top of itch.io. what i specifically want at the start is:

  1. a favorites button on every game cell that can be toggled with a single click
  2. a hide/ignore button that can be toggled with a single click that simply lowers the game cell's opacity so that it's still there, but easy to skip when viewing the page
  3. basically the same collections feature that itch.io already provides, but one that is user friendly. itch.io's user interface for collections is a disaster

i've recently started looking around to see if anyone is already working on a feature like this, or if anyone has brainstormed interesting ideas to add
