# Backslash
## A Backlog tracker.
_A Backlog tracker._
STATUS: Pre-Development
A self-hosted backlog tracker that enables you to import content, organize, create lists, add notes to lists or individual items,
leave reviews and ratings and track progress. As this progresses more features will be added of course.

The end goal is to create a system that allows you to track multiple media types: Books, movies, TV Shows and games etc
To begin I will create the system focused on games, the reason being I want to create this system to I can track my game backlog
as well as wanting to interact with steam and play around with importing media.

There are other options out there that are much better and established but I want to give this project a go in an attempt to improve
my programming skills and get more exposure to full stack development. By no means am I a programmer, In my day job im an Infrastructure
Operations Engineer so Im likely way out of my depth here but here goes xD

My Goal is to create this project with minimal use of AI, I will restrict AI usage to asking questions and brainstorming ideas and best practices,
again the goal here is for me to learn programming.

## Tech stack
I want to write the program in go, for no other reason than thats the language I want to learn.
architectural decisions will be made and change as I go this can be tracked in [DECISIONS.md](DECISIONS.md),
as needs and requirements change. Im stepping into this blind so continued research is required.

## Data storage & Privacy
As this is selfhosted you are responsible for all data you hold using this project. Please be mindful of other users you may have using the system once the project evolves
to allow that. I have no idea about best practices when it comes to writing programs that deal with sensitive data such as API keys or PII, I will try to make sure security
privacy take the forefront when it comes to data storage and privacy.
