项目历史

Ben "ToxicFrog" Kelly released bltool in 2013 as a command-line helper for managing a Backloggery game collection. Its release tags run from v0.1.0 in 2013 through v0.2.4 in 2017, and the README records an explicit unmaintained status update.

The tool was built with Leiningen and distributed as a Java jar/release zip, with Homebrew offered as the macOS package-manager path.

采用历史

bltool served a niche automation audience: Backloggery users who wanted bulk add, delete, filter, and import workflows rather than editing a game list by hand. The Homebrew formula made that niche tool easy to install on macOS.

使用方式

The command reads from formats such as Backloggery, Steam, Xbox Live, text, EDN, and JSON, then writes to Backloggery operations or local files. Backloggery writes use command-line username and password options rather than a documented credentials file.

Examples in the README show Steam-to-text-to-Backloggery imports, duplicate filtering, and deletion workflows composed with ordinary shell commands.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

bltool is interesting mostly as a frozen snapshot of personal-data plumbing around 2010s game-tracking sites: a Clojure jar packaged for Homebrew, shell pipelines, EDN/JSON interchange, and fragile integrations with consumer web services.
