NEW: Analytics
This is very much a work-in-progress, but it will get us started.
- Google Analytics (report created 12 Jan 2025)
- Google Search Console (report created 12 Jan 2025)
- Key Listium lists (ie. some non-Gamurs lists just for comparison)
Accounts
Here are the Gamurs accounts on Listium:
- Pro Game Guides
- Destructoid
- The Escapist
- Siliconera
- Dot Esports
- Happy Gatherer (on Listium only)
These accounts are accessed by Gamurs staff logging in with their personal Listium account and then switching to one of the accounts via the Admin tab in their account settings. Message Marc on Slack to have these permissions added for more staff. Here is a list of staff that have access to each account (as of 5 Nov):
| Account | Staff |
|---|---|
| All Accounts | Jonna |
| Pro Game Guides | - |
| Destructoid | - |
| The Escapist | - |
| Siliconera | - |
| Dot Esports | - |

Potential Discussions
1. Tier List View
Riad asked my opinion on tier lists. I had two answers:
-
Adding a tier list view to Listium is very possible, so I created a working prototype to play with. Here's a screenshot:
I have drag and drop working and, with our existing grouping feature, you can create multiple tier lists with one list. You also have the advantange over regular tiers lists of being able to see the name of the item instead of having to work it out from the image, as well as click on each item to see more details. It's working on my local server, and i can
- See what lessons we can learn from TierMaker about what makes such a simple idea work so well, and whether we can apply those lessons to Listium... ie. maybe the spin-offs feature.
2. Spin-offs
I've talked a little about spin-offs in our calls, but I didn't get a chance to give you the full vision for this feature. And I am sure you will have ideas as well. I suggest we make time to look at this together, so I can show you how it currently works and the ideas I have for making this a much more powerful tool to drive engagement and build communities around lists.
3. Board Game Resources
I love board games, and I recently started playing Race for the Galaxy with friends. It's a great game, but the initial learning curve is steepdue to the number of cards - 90+ in the base game, plus several expansions.
I started creating a list of all the cards that I could refer to while playing. I wanted more than a list of the cards, but something where I could record subjective information like the strength of each card for a given strategy. I spoke to the creator of the game (he's the creator of many high rating board games) who was happy for me to use the images, and he's happy for me to get in touch again to have a discussion about the list.
Here is the list:
And here are the existing resources that the list would be competing with:
- Spreadsheet on Board Game Geek
- Custom website built by a fan
- Google search for "Race for the Galaxy card list"
4. Reddit
Reddit is obviously huge for gaming, and almost everything else. I already track every single Google Sheet that is shared on Reddit via a Reddit bot and Zapier integration.
Well over half of the Google Sheets shared on Reddit are gaming related, and we should be using that as a source of list ideas. But I also have ideas about how to 'unofficially integrate' Reddit into Listium. We can talk about that when you are ready.
