The Busy Gamer App
The Busy Gamer Web App allows you to track videogames that you want to play, and makes an approximation of how long is going to take you to finish those games, based on your schedule. Powered by How Long To Beat API.
overview
The idea is simple: between work and everything else, you might only get a couple of hours of gaming a week. So this app is for the gamer who wants to know exactly how long it'll take to finally finish the backlog — one Persona game at a time.

challenges
One of the main challenges was how to handle props within the application, so we can truly track each videogame, and manage everything within the app, from allowing the player to see what games are already being tracked, and managing how we were going to get a result for the user, in this case how to handle the calculations of how long it would take you to finish the games you're tracking in the tracking list.
