it would be good if you added a sort by new on the site so that we can view recent games or the publish date of the game

Thanks for the feedback. Screenshots have now been added :)

Nice, thanks! Do you also analyze history? As I had some of my previous submissions, vide https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I have only backfilled from the past month as curation is a bit of work. If you have something you want to add feel free to submit a PR.

FWIW I may get around to backfilling a longer period of time, but I just had my second kid so time is a valuable resource atm :)

Agreed. (someone else mentioned sorting by upvotes, which I like too) Also a thumbnail (or gif), just a way to convey more information about the game more quickly.

Came here to suggest the same: screenshot so I can get a taste of the game when browsing the list.

Screenshots added :)

It might have been mentioned already, but displaying screenshots from the game would be nice. I appreciate that the site loads fast and navigation also feels snappy.

Thanks for the feedback! Screenshots added

Congrats on the kind and well, first priorities first. :)
