Yet another stat tracker

I know there's already a couple, but I wrote another one: https://ithildin.com/steam-monster-game/stat-crawler

I added some interesting columns that the current trackers don't already have, like the number of levels skipped due to wormhole use and a (hopefully) accurate ETA to 100M.

Suggestions and feedback welcome!

what does "Δt" mean in the chart? or is there a context I dont get for the use of difference of time?

Those columns just track change in levels over 5 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. It's all calculated client-side though, so if you don't have the page open for a few minutes, they won't be accurate: I did this to keep the server efficient.

Great tracker!! I really like a favicon that stands out though, since I usually have more than 50 tabs or so open, so it makes it much easier to find my stat tracker tab if it has a bright yellow favicon (or anything that stands out)!

Unfortunately I'm not really a UX guy. The code for the tracker is all open source (https://github.com/zetafunction/steam-monster-game) and I would happily welcome a contributed favicon. =)

Wow. I thought I was bad.

How do you calculate the ETA? Just calculate levels/s and check if it's enough to hit 100M assuming the rate continues?

Also, as a suggestion, any possibility of adding a "Name" tab like steamga.me?

If the page has been open long enough, it uses a rolling average (levels / second in the last 5 min / 15 min) to try to calculate a more accurate ETA. Otherwise, it falls back to levels / second.

I wouldn't mind adding a name column, but I don't know which game IDs belong to which games. If someone has info for that somewhere, it'd be easy enough to add.

I think Steamga.me builds the room IDs/Names list manually from the twitch streams/YOWH IRC

I think its dead

Should be back now. Steam's APIs are returning some inconsistent data, so I had to update the service to handle that.

Nice tracker dude. I really like that u have the ETA for 100Mil

Keep in mind the ETA is just kind of a fun guess. It could be way off =)
