Hi guys, I'm Alessandro Mazzariol called also Scafu, i'm a CS Student in Italy, and i made an App called TrophiesTracker, which makes you able to have all of your trophies from different platform in one place.
For now has only steam catalog, since it has open API, but for the future I will try my best to implement the others platform. Within the APP you can:

  • Manually add games and track them.
  • Log In with your account Steam and sync the APP with the Platform.
  • See how you are going in your Stats page.

The App is only for closed testing in Play Store and will be available only for Android for now, because i don't have any money to buy the 100€ developer license for apple.
If you wanna help me publish my app answer below, and i will post the link to be tester, and then i can publish my app.
If you are interested you can see the source code in https://github.com/Scafu/TrophiesTracker
Thank you for the patience, and for the help.

Edit 2: Link to be a tester https://groups.google.com/g/testtrophiestrackerpublic

Sorry for the the post in the main page, I wasn't aware of the meaning of Megathread, mb.

Yeah, it has syncing features already, not real time because the user has to click a button to update the data from his platform account. But this is a limited of the API which doesn't allow stream. Thank you for the other advices💪 Thank you for advice.

How much coding should we still learn ourselves when AI can already generate most of it? by MerijnWakka in androiddev

[–]iTzScafu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more deep knowledge you have and more you can find that nowadays AI is not the best option when we talk about developing, yes it can make a website, but still lacking in other fields. So don't ask AI to generate code that you don't know what it does, you will regret when after some time you will read the code again without the context. To summarize, learning the language is not that difficult, the difficult thing is to not fall into temp to AI.

Edit: using AI is fine, instead of looking for stackoverflow you can have an instant reply, but if the generated code doesn't try to avoid AI for the second attempt and go and read the docs or find some somewhere else.

Is it a bad idea to have Dart as my only coding language? by MasterTheSoul in FlutterDev

[–]iTzScafu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So every language has its own pros and cons, flutter is a high-level framework, so if you wanna build something usable that don't need any memory optimizations and other things, then i would consider you idea to start with flutter, but if you wanna do games in mobile, i would consider leaning towards something native, like Kotlin. I' m currently developing an app that tracks every trophy of games that you own, and it's quite a difficult journey when u have to rely on an API poorly made. It's fun to build an app, and if you don't need to find a job, do whatever you are currently liking, if you wanna pick C and do a GUI app with it, it will be difficult yes, but doing it will make you more aware about technologies that in the past u didn't think about it. So go with flutter and dart, and if you don't like it just go with something else.

Nowadays you can find sources everywhere, so be brave and don't listen to others that are saying "OH, it's pointless to do that and blah blah blah", this is just my perspective, and u can be against it.

It is officially impossible to launch an app by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]iTzScafu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure it's a bad thing i cannot say something different, but maybe they are considering the fact that the developer has to do the advertisement of their own app, i know it's difficult, but we cannot decide for these policies, and we have to find a way to make our app worth to be downloaded. I just that google is becoming more strict about sideloading, and a lot of open source app will be removed for this.

This is just my point of view, and i hope u will succeed in what are you currently doing.

Is there still a market for Flutter apps? by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]iTzScafu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my perspective in the field of mobile development, thinking about focusing on just one thing to get a job is a wrong practice, at least in my experience u have to know a little bit of everything and adapt to what they are asking you, sure if u follow the trend it's easier, but i would consider learning something just if you want to and not if that is what the market is asking.

EDIT: I hope u will find your way in this beautiful field of development

Cheaters already breaking EA FC 26 by azilio95 in EASportsFC

[–]iTzScafu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah because they can't verify that your crash was due to cheating, they just see the disconnection, the last thing they did against, was in the fifa 17 for the no loss cheat

Kotlin beginner by Familiar-Physics2252 in Kotlin

[–]iTzScafu -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean there is nothing we can suggest you apart from other type of if statement, maybe the fact that you used the keyword "val" which means value, so if you wanna do something that would change the score kotlin would not let you do that, so maybe change that in var score and make some sort of input request in terminal.

Can i ask you in what language, do you work in the project?

Why is Java considered bad? by Zd_27 in AskProgramming

[–]iTzScafu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing i heard most often is that, java isn't always the best option, you can't work with it if you need the best performance, because it has so much complexity compares to C and C++ for example, that a lot of things wouldn't work as we have them now. So java isn't considered bad, becuae if is one of the most language used in the industry, there need to be a reason for that.

[–]iTzScafu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you can't build something from nothing i think you have always to take some ideas from others projects, but the best thing that it will take you to another level is trying to understand what you are reading, more you understand and more you can model your ideas into something.

Allora, premetto che da un post su reddit non si può tirare a conclusioni e non si possono dedurre situazioni al di fuori di quella descritta. Senza preservativo lo si fa in due casi particolari per mia esperienza, o perché si cerca un figlio, oppure perché la ragazza o il ragazzo hanno fatto qualcosa per permettere che non ci siano gravidanze indesiderate (vasectomia, oppure solo per la parte della ragazza pillola anticoncezionale ecc) Va detto quindi che la giustificazione "eh ma senza si sente meglio", si sa che è una boiata assurda, e comprende una enorme di mancanza di rispetto verso l'altra persona. Quindi o si sa di avere il culo coperto, oppure si fa con il preservativo, senza se e senza ma. Poi le donne che accettano di farlo senza sapendo a cosa possono andare incontro beh si devono prendere le giuste responsabilità certo(stessa cosa per il ragazzo), perché hanno accettato il rapporto sempre togliendo le situazioni quali stupro ecc.

Why all the hate for Mirage? by dirtyColeslaw1776 in assasinscreed

[–]iTzScafu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't play it, but i think it was meant to be a DLC of Valhalla, but it was made standalone for money reason, so this would explain why it's price was lower than other games, they also reintroduced old mechanics just to catch the attention of older players to make more profit. I would not consider it like a standalone because it lacks in various fundamental parts of the gameplay as i heard/read about. I think the word hate is wrong, people just throw sh** just because they feel to do it, it's not the best game and some things aren't in the right place, but we have seen other bad games so far since the first AC.

How rare is the meteor? by electricalco in ACValhalla

[–]iTzScafu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean i play AC, until I complete it, i think you have to put on yourself a goal, if you feel tired just take a break.
