Title: Another Request... "diff" two collections to see what's unique between them
Post by: rappo on October 14, 2012, 11:55:26 pm

I know I already posted a feature request (http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,1549.msg16426.html) here, but that seemed to be well received so I'll keep it up. I linked my collection to someone, to see what we had in common/different and quickly realized there's no easy way to tell the difference. It would be awesome if there was a way to quickly diff between two collections, so I can see what's in my collection that's not in my friend's, and vice versa. Even better would be to specify specific parts of someone's collection... for instance, compare my NES collection with someone else's NES Sell list.

What do you guys think?

I think the comparison thing is a good idea but for me the sell/wish lists would be top priority out of the two ides you gave. As far as I can tell you can't casually browse these two lists, meaning that unless you specifically check every individual Japanese Saturn game in the database (just to use a format I'm personally interested in) you can't tell what other users are offering. Wish list appears (again, as far as I can tell) to suffer the same thing - unless I go through and check every game, I can't tell if somebody wants a game I'm trying to sell.

On a tangent some other stats might be interesting to see - top ten collectors for each format or something like that, just so you can easily go and have a nose through :)

I agree, rappo. This is a good idea, and I was thinking about it myself. Along with collection leaderboards.

That would be a cool idea.

I also like the thought of leader boards

Could be interesting. I would need more friends to compare with however!
