Steam Game Tracker

The Problem

As a gamer with hundreds of titles on Steam, I found myself constantly wondering: Which games have I actually played? Which ones are gathering digital dust? How much time have I really spent gaming?

Steam's built-in library management is functional, but it lacks the analytics and insights that would help me make better decisions about what to play next. I wanted something more visual, more insightful, and more fun to explore.

The Solution

I built Steam Game Tracker to connect with the Steam API and pull in my entire game library, including playtime data, achievements, and recent activity. The app organizes everything into an intuitive dashboard with:

• Visual analytics showing my most-played games
• Completion tracking for achievements
• Time spent breakdowns by genre and year
• Recommendations based on my play patterns

The result is a beautiful, data-driven view into my gaming habits that's helped me rediscover forgotten gems in my library and make more intentional choices about what to play next.

Technical Highlights

Built with Next.js for server-side rendering and optimal performance, the app fetches data from Steam's Web API and caches it intelligently to avoid rate limits. I used Chart.js for the visualizations and Tailwind CSS for a clean, modern interface that works beautifully on both desktop and mobile.
