While building my first Steam game, I realized Steam Works stats mostly gives you raw numbers, but not much insight into why they change and sometimes it’s hard to even tell when changes happen in a meaningful way.

So I built Steam Wishlist Pulse, a small 4 mb single binary that has a nice web dashboard (rust / svelte / sqlite) and works prefect even on a RPI:

- Track wishlist changes over time - Spot spikes and unusual activity - Get clearer visibility into trends - Get notifications via Discord & Telegram

It’s still early, but it’s already helping me correlate wishlist changes with various events such as marketing etc.
