Blog

What started as simple let's add comments to bundles, turned into a much larger thing - let's get that out of the way first - Bundles, Vouchers, Giveaways and Misc. deals now have comments. You can also see latest 100 comments on a standalone page.

The main course though... Bundles received rather significant facelift and some new features.

Facelift is obvious. I tried to make both bundle detail pages and bundle list look a little bit more orderly, easier to parse, with less visual noise. Especially bundle lists were very guilty of this. Let me know whether I suceeded, I think it's a teeny tiny bit better now.

I also mentioned new features. Bundles now support Build your own type of bundles. Bundle value will be correctly computed for you when you select games, and price tiers are listed in an organized way. See an example in the latest bundle by Fanatical. Oh, and you can share your selection with others since the URL will update when you pick games. We also support "add-on" tiers, that we could have seen in a Boomer Shooter Bundle recently. Games in the bundle can now be sorted and tiers can be collapsed.

As you can see from the title though, there's more. When I introduced blogs last time, you asked for RSS. That's now a thing. You can get our posts directly in your feed.

There were also some bug fixes, the one that's most worth mentioning is fixed date inputs, so if you encountered some bugs when you were trying to record a purchase date for your games, it should work better now.

Last, but not least, I have also worked on API. You can find full changelog on GitHub. If you are developer, it's important that you verify your email so you don't get lower rate limits. Check changelog for more details.

For the first time in... What year is it? Oh my god...

Let's just say that we finally have a place where I can directly communicate with you what's new and what's going on, instead of relying on 3rd parties, like our Discord server or Steam group!

Along with that, we also have comments now. For now, comments are only here, under "blogs", but with how I built them, it should be easy to plop them anywhere now. I was thinking about adding comments under bundles, so we could discuss them. Maybe also vouchers, because those tend to have various limits and requirements that we can't always catch in how we track them. For now though, let's just test them here, and we'll see if it's going to be managable ':) Comment system by itself is easy, I didn't want to go overboard, but it ended up being so much work...

Last but not least, you can set your own avatar now. As of right now, there are not many places where it will show up - basically just here in the comments (and in the header), but I have plans for new things I'd like to do this year. You'll see.
