But if you can't browse jam entries freely, if you can't find a game you noticed earlier - this means pretty much that you can't participate in ld jam fully. **AND. WE. STILL. DON'T. HAVE. A. GAME.

It is extremely uncomfortable to use, it loads for ages, it even lacks static sorting. I can bet that nobody actually ever loaded a full list through feed.

If, for example, during LD37 I've glanced over several hundreds of game pages, and downloaded and played about hundred games among them, during LD39 I couldn't even find several games that I noticed during event in news feed, and in summary looked up for around 50 game pages and played only about 30 games. And this is only due to the lack of the ability to browse jam entries. Lack of the search functionality sums up additional damage - it is pretty much impossible to find some game on this site even if you know it's name.\n\nLack of the human text formatting in the text forms also dishearting but I can live without it.
