Built a small widget that shows your Steam stats right on your desktop. Thought it might be useful for indie devs.

    Would this be useful or is keeping Steam open enough?

    Genuinely curious.

    1. Seems like a horrible thing? And I don’t mean what you build is bad…

      Watching the minute-by-minute updates on how a new game launch is going can’t be very healthy. You’d be better off being active on steam discussions to push positivity or address concerns/bugs. You’d also be better off tracking negative reviews to show engagement and such?

    2. My main question would be, why would you want this in view all the time? It seems like the same unhealthy habit as constantly monitoring Youtube/Instagram follower count. Apart from active players, all of this data is pretty slow moving. You could just open the page once a day to check if you need it.
