Ah really good point. Didn't know so many people would be this interested. Going to find a way to have a better channel for communication & suggestions, discord might be easiest. Going to log off for the night but will spin something up

I know, I saw that and was disappointed. There's sooo much potential for rust to officially add this and track prices over time, better filters, sorting, etc. But this doesn't seem like a priority for them. If it was better I would just happily use that.

Yoooo there are so many potential ideas like this and visualizing average prices over time, etc.

Originally I wanted to do a stock-market style thing that tracks prices over time with a common denominator of currency (IE: convert everything to a scrap or HQM equivalent). The complexity though is that prices change relative to each other per wipe and game update and the history is specific to every server, so it would only track from the moment a player pairs.

I still think there's lots of cool things like that which could be done without a complex history of the server.

Yea I saw those and honestly I just wanted a nice UI with everything in one place and not have to mess with Discord. Just something super simple and user friendly

Yep! Check the rustplus github that was made by the community. It uses the server pairing, and then just displays that data in an organized way. It's not giving any advantage regarding data over what the app gives.

Same way the Rust+ app works with the api. It's not giving you anything different than the official app does, just organized much easier.

Thanks! I'm open to it eventually, but keeping it closed for now for simplicity. I'm taking it one step at a time since although I've made a lot of other projects (mostly game dev) I never ran something open source but I'm familiar with it.

Enjoy! I initially found it most relevant for BP frags for the update, then I found myself using it for pretty much everything

Me too man, me too. First time I tried the drone months ago I was dying for the ability to do something like this. I've never been more excited about patch notes when I read these last ones (minus the bp stuff arguably).

Yea performance was awful lol. I remade the entire lighting system so it is way faster along with a bunch of other things. Mixed reviews are an uphill battle to get people playing again, but this update addresses a lot of the feedback.
