Thought it should be easier to read and search weekly deals so created this...

Will plan on adding some enhanced steam like features to it as well.

That's kick ass, Sky. Bookmarked that so fast. Thanks.

Very nice Sky! Though I should be mad for you making it even easier to throw money at steam.

Added another feature and versioned a 1.0.0 release...

*Added Rating. Rating is the percentage of positive reviews in the 50 highest rated reviews

I like this feature. I was hoping you would add something like this. I haven't looked at the source yet. What did you write it in?

Mostly PHP and JavaScript

Anyway to move to mostly javascript and use background loading?  I had it hang a couple of times. I guess it was having trouble querying the api.  I like PHP a lot except for the need to wait on it to finish.

The php is really just serving as a proxy, minifier, and server side cache for the different http calls I'm making. The JavaScript is making async calls for the weeklong deals and other detail pages through the proxy then using jQuery to parse them into the table.

 

[edit] The only way I could make it work with all JavaScript is if steam has cors enabled on their site which they likely do not. My shared server was having a maintenance update last night so php was running a little slow.  It's back to its normal speed of a few seconds to load the page ow.

I wasn't sure how you were pulling the info. If it was an api of steams that was setup to allow that or not. It's normally fast. Do you cache the entire weeklong deals on your local server? Since, I assume they are only changing once a week.

Really just curious.

Cached and refreshed on demand every 24 hours.

Steam prettymuch just implemented a new design that removed about half the reason I even needed to write this...

Oh well, I fixed the bugs the redesign caused none the less.

Ah well. Still has its uses.
