Track what you watch, play, and read AND then actually remember it.
Verso is in active development. This project is being built in public by a solo developer. Not ready for external use yet.
You finished a 40-hour game three months ago. Who directed it ? What inspired it ? Why did it matter ?
You can't remember... and that's normal. We lose most parts of what we consume within a week without active reinforcement. Every existing tracker : Letterboxd, Goodreads, Backloggd, counts what you consumed and assigns it a number. None of them helps you understand or retain any of it.
The gap between "I watched 200 films this year" and "I deeply understand cinema" is not addressed by any platform.
Verso combines three layers that no existing product brings together :
Cross-media logging with dated sessions, progress tracking, and import from Letterboxd, Goodreads, MAL, Trakt, and Backloggd. A tier-based ranking system (S/A/B/C/D/F) replaces arbitrary numerical scores because ranking produces more reliable data than rating.
When you finish a work, Verso reveals its other side : who made it and why, where it sits in its medium's history, what influenced it and what it influenced, the craft behind it, and even one killer anecdote you can retell at dinner if you want.
Auto-generated flashcards using the testing effect scheduled via spaced repetition. A daily 2-minute quiz keeps your cultural knowledge alive without feeling like homework.

Culture deserves to be retained, not just consumed.
