Home and game pages open without waiting on the full catalog. Home paints a short set of rails first. A game page loads that title and similar titles.
When Steam is not serving in-game samples, player charts can fill the gap with an hour-of-week guess in a distinct color and a footnote. A title sitting at zero while the catalog is still live is a real zero, not a guess. The FAQ names this.
The public API adds a slim catalog list and a similar-titles route for one Steam id.
A site-wide banner can tell visitors the catalog is moving to ludodb.com on Sunday 20 September 2026 at 9:00 PM EST. That banner can be dismissed on this device so it does not return.
A second site-wide message can say a migration to a new site is about to start. That one cannot be dismissed.
On a desktop, the player chart shows the game title so a screenshot of the plot has a name. Phones stay as they were.
Player, price, and catalog in-game charts still go back to the first sample. The default line is a trend of the whole span, and the last week stays at full sample cadence. The public API can ask for any 7-day raw window with from and to.
Site-wide notices can appear at the top of every page for scheduled maintenance, a site update, or when Steam is slow. Each message is from a fixed list.
The catalog keeps sampling as the title list grows, instead of stalling when memory is tight.
