Would be nice that if you signed in with a Steam account, it did a bit of automatic population with what you've already played, are playing, and so on.

Also, some kind of prod with the "to play list" from your unplayed steam games.

Knocked this up a while ago http://bellendsebastian.github.io/steam-backlog/ and it's kinda depressing.

Totally, it's on the road map. Also, I may very quite interested in your tech :) I'll be in touch.
The source is up on github (https://github.com/bellendsebastian/steam-backlog), if you want to take a look or use it or whatever, go for it. It's a bit messy as I wrote it on a hurry one night, but you're free to use whatever if it helps.
I made something kind of similar that also estimates how much time it would take to finish your backlog, and guesses what games you have and haven't beaten:

Nice work. My original idea was to have it randomly generate a calendar which would designate games to certain days in an attempt to force myself to play some of my unplayed games (currently 138/269 games), but this was just a fun little thing I did when drunk and got bored of the idea. :D
