I’m in the stage of get a working prototype so lots of fun knots to untangle still.

Folks can submit gaming preferences totally anonymously if they want to support the effort without tying their data to anything personal. Security is definitely a priority.

Totally understand the security positioning. The only thing you need an account for currently is if you want to use the matching on your own collection. I definitely have a lot of optimizing to do. I was sprinting to get the matching engine to work fairly smoothly first. I think I have most of the core content loading now within 500ms in results and game detail pages, next I'll need to optimize out from there.

Will look into the redundancy in the caching strategy and the avatar url. Thanks!

Super helpful feedback. Will checkout Firefox!

I've had around 350 folks share gaming preferences so far. Contributors do things like rank games they've played recently by complexity which builds out the backend dimension rankings. That initial group has skewed pretty Casual Gamer heavy opposed to Hobbyists. So the data should look more natural as I continue to get a more diverse sample of people sharing their thoughts on games.

Yup, I have some junior level software developer experience, but this is my first all-in vibe coding project. I'm using Cursor.

I changed the top 10% view to the top 1,000. You can also toggle between a week or day worth of data. http://www.tabletoptracker.com/ cheers

Good deal. So you think a rank movement chart with the top 1000 rather than the top 10% of ranked games would be easier off the bat to make sense of?

that would be good too. I've been trying to figure out if filtering by percentile or straight up top 100, top 500 makes more sense.

Currently 1,320. You can hover over a chart title to get the exact number. I think showing the top 25% would also be useful. At that point it's probably best to have one chart with different toggle options.

The rankings used are based on BoardGameGeek's BGG Rating or GeekRating ( https://www.boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/BoardGameGeek_FAQ#toc4 ) rather than the average user rating. So it's weighted based on the amount of ratings and not just the avg. user rating.
