Finally got a chance to work on my #Steam library tracking app.
It already does something I haven't seen anywhere else: of course it can sync my games, playtime, achievements via the Steam API, but also link this to my actual spending via CSV import. (I've been keeping a spreadsheet for years).
So now I can see which of my games have the best and worst $/hr, total spend by developer, publisher, or genre, $ per month/year; basically anything. It's really cool!
The app is mostly for my own use, but I'd like to release it publicly too.
Spend tracking being the main feature, I need to think about ways to make it useful to the average #Steam user who hasn't been meticulously recording all their purchases for years.
Like perhaps I should support the format produced by the various browser extensions that can scrape your Steam purchase history page and generate a CSV.
The main problem here is Steam's history page, which groups purchases by transaction instead of a proper itemised list. Hmmm.
