Frequently Asked Questions

-
Why does the site take so long to load and why is it so slow?

The user interface is built using Blazor and WebAssembly (Wasm), a relatively new web technology that is not as mature and optimised as traditional JavaScript based websites. Performance will improve over time as the technology matures. The decision to use Blazor/WebAssembly was for self-learning and educational reasons. This is a learning project, not a commercial project.
-
I have an issue or suggestion, where can I get help?

Any feedback is appreciated and bug reports are welcomed, drop a message in Discord using the pop-out chat in the corner of the page.
-
I want to help with this project, how can I get involved?

At this time I'm not actively looking for any help, the project is still very early days and the development environment isn't geared up for public contributions. Ideally one day I'd setup something to allow for public contributions, but this is very far down on the todo list right now and I'm more focused on finishing the basic functionality first.
-
The price for item X is wrong

Item prices/orders/activity are synced with Steam about once every 60 minutes (on average). Due to Steam request throttling and occasional API down-time, data can lag behind even further than this. Because Steam is a live and high-volume marketplace, real-time updates are not feasible.
