dkeisen suggested over on a geeklist ( http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/17392) that it would be useful to have a tool that says what you own that someone else doesn't. That way, when you go over to Gamer X's house, you can quickly generate a list of what you own that they don'. Using the XML API I made a little web page that does just that:

Enjoy.

Cool stuff - great job!

Without diminishing this cool bit of programming, here's some more suggestions to fuel your next big thing:

- Reverse the rating order so we see what the other fellow considers his best stuff that we don't have.

- Include an option to show his games by my other differentiating attributes (combinations of the following):
>my ratings (settable rating threshold)
>games I've recorded plays for (number of plays threshold)
>games I've rated
>opton to group by each attribute checked
>on my want list
>games by year (settable specific year or range)

- generate the list across more than two geeks (unique among the members)
Melissa - off to Wuppertal!

This is great - thanks!!

I discovered that apparently I own 33 games that my husband doesn't - and he has 113 or so that I didn't. :devil:
