Current Status

2015-10-01

It's the beginning of October and I already started developing some days ago. It's not a lot yet, as I have to work, I just moved, bought a car, etc.

Next version will probably only contain bug fixes and some minor changes.

Old description

I wrote a little script similar to the old SG+ and I call it SG₂O (SG2 Optimized). It already has some basic features (see full list below) and I've already got more features planned.

Could have published it 3 weeks ago, but I didn't want it to be lying around while I'm lying in the sun and can't maintain it. I started to write it when SG2 was published at the end of January. I know there is another script which has a lot of people working on it, but I just wanted to do something on my own and wanted to try out a different programming language.

If you have any wishes on features or find any bugs just write here.

Features

• Gridview
• Colored borders: green (group GA), purple (wishlist GA), turqoise (whitelist), blue/red (meets/above own contributor level)
• Grid filter to filter giveaways by contributor level, points and chance of winning.
• One-click blacklisting of games
• Automatic blacklisting of games that were on the blacklist in SG+ (disabled by default)
  • This feature checks for every open game if it was on your filter list with SG+. If so it is added to your blacklist, but only if the feature is enabled in the settings (SG₂O-Button on top). For me it has already added around 800-900 of 1800 games that I had on the filter list. Thats around 80% of my current blacklist.
• Endless-scroll for giveaway pages
• Highlight wishlist games
• Add games to a custom wishlist to highlight them as well (does not add games to wishlist on steam)
• Hide entered GAs (disabled by default)
• Fixed navbar/sidebar
• Remove featured giveaway (can be disabled)
• Recent forum posts on top (can be disabled)
