Months Active
April 2026
Week 5 (Apr 26-30)
Features(8)
- •Cash Trader: subscription model with pricing tiers and access control — gated quote building, partner management, and trade logging behind paid plans
- •Tradeup Finder: subscription model with pricing tiers and access control, plus a dedicated /tradeup-access page for plan selection
- •Tradeup Finder free-plan banner: rewritten copy to make ROI opportunities and the upgrade value prop clear at a glance
- •Inventory Pricer: founding-plan pricing display now shows the original price with strikethrough alongside the discounted founder price
- •Subscription descriptions (i18n EN + RU): clearer wording on what each product unlocks and the billing terms — applied across pricing pages, paywalls, and checkout
- •Skin descriptions: editorial generation pipeline with improved formatting — auto-generates richer, more readable copy on item pages instead of the older terse blurbs
- •SteamMarketPanel: full Steam market data display added, and the trending data source switched to use it as the primary feed
- •Steam API retry logic: transient Steam failures (timeouts, 5xx) now retry with backoff instead of bubbling up as a hard error to the user
Fixes(3)
- •SteamMarketPanel: surrounding-point scan now includes the final element of the price series — previously the last data point was skipped, causing the rightmost segment of the chart to render incorrectly
- •SteamMarketPanel: zero/null prices are dropped from the market-average curve so missing data no longer drags the average to 0 and creates phantom dips on the chart
- •SteamMarketPanel: change percentages now align with the chart line across data gaps — the % delta and the rendered curve no longer disagree when a day has no listings
Week 4 (Apr 19-25)
Features(14)
- •Inventory Value Checker: delta badge shows "+$X (+Y%) since last checked on [date]" on the estimated value, comparing the current check against the previous snapshot of the same Steam ID (stored per-device in localStorage, persisted in session cache across back-nav)
- •Multi-source pricing: PricerTab and QuoteBuilder now let users pick which price source to trust, with the selection and picked sources persisted to localStorage across sessions
- •SteamMarketPanel: added "market average" and "cheapest listing" source options alongside the existing providers
- •Cash Trader "How to use" modal: full walkthrough covering inventory pricing, quote building, and partner management
- •QuoteBuilder: price mode selector + offer percentage input; offer percentage now shown on the public quote view
- •CashTradePanel: price mode selection and improved item filtering with the shared pricing logic
- •PricerTab / new PricerItemRow component: cleaner per-item display with inline overpay breakdown
- •Stacking for fungible duplicates in the PricerTab so identical items collapse into a single row
- •Craft recommendations: finish selector and enhanced filtering; flagged items now show total overpay
- •New Glove Popup: celebratory prompt when a new glove is discovered in inventory, with suggestion list
- •Live Deals: enhanced price display and clearer SEO meta descriptions
- •Bulk sell handling, quote acceptance flow, and inventory estimation adjustments across the Cash Trader suite
- •Skinplace added back into the per-source price flow after the aggregator-only period
- •Float sorting added to the trade-up inventory selector
Fixes(9)
- •Fixed /deals market-to-market returning 0 results when both sides were Buff163/YouPin/LIS Skins/Steam: catalog_item_prices.count is NULL for these providers (they do not publish a listings count) and the minListings filter used COALESCE(count, 0) >= N, so NULL → 0 silently excluded every row. Switched to (count IS NULL OR count >= N) and cleared the poisoned L2 response cache (1,161 entries)
- •Fixed /deals tab switching feeling sluggish: tab state was bound to the route, so every tab click triggered a full Nuxt route change and re-awaited useFetch in Suspense before rendering. Moved the direction to local state + window.history.replaceState so the URL still updates but there is no route transition — useFetch just refetches reactively against the warm L2 cache
- •Fixed inventory value page session handling on reloads and with query parameters
- •Fixed craft sold check API endpoint in useCraftSoldCheck
- •Fixed sold sticker craft deals leaking into craft recommendations (now filtered server-side)
- •Fixed inventory fetch errors: detailed error messages with dismiss option instead of a generic banner
- •Fixed affiliate link generation to use encodeURIComponent for special characters in market hash names
- •Fixed cs2c /market/items liquidity field rename (upstream renamed the field; our reader now follows)
- •Stopped flagging Shadowpay as a missing source after it was removed from dataset regeneration
Performance(2)
- •Streamlined price fetching by integrating the cs2c prices stream and removing redundant per-item API calls
- •Craft deals dedup + improved scoring so identical listings don't occupy multiple slots in recommendations
Refactoring(4)
- •Restored per-source price fetchers (pre-cs2c aggregator) for reliability — aggregator is still used where it wins, but individual providers can be refreshed independently
- •Removed Shadowpay from dataset regeneration (provider discontinued)
- •Removed inventory indication from sticker display in portfolio and craft recommendations
- •z-index pass across modals + liquidity-aware row class logic in the live deal tables
Week 3 (Apr 12-18)
Features(36)
- •Sticker Craft Scanner: new tool that surfaces underpriced sticker crafts, with a dedicated API, deal listings, alerts, and cross-promotion on the Live Deals page
- •Craft Recommendations: portfolio-linked widget surfacing relevant sticker crafts with skin images, click tracking, inspect links, and a sign-in prompt for non-logged-in users
- •Server-side craft deal filtering: sticker-aware search (with 5-word cap to prevent query amplification), dedicated StickerAutocomplete component with keyboard nav, stale-response guard, and tab-close handling

- •Embed API slim mode: inventory-value gets full items, browser extensions get top5Items + bestCraft instead of the full inventory array
- •Investment Recommender: new backend engine with horizon configs, pure scoring functions, phase-aware scoring + MHN/phase dedup, backtest runner with expected-return calibration, cron that persists top-100 per horizon, admin read endpoint, backtest POST + status GET endpoints, marketplace URL builder, and a 3-column admin UI registered as an Investments tab on /admin/stats
- •Investments UI: rows link to cs2locker item pages (dropped marketplace buttons), historical value chart with daily price tracking, pump-alert data migrated to trending_precomputed + item_prices
- •Trending precomputation: aggregated data storage with refined SQL window functions and cache management (reduces cold-query cost on /trending)

- •UUSkins marketplace integration: 24,890+ price listings fetched via paginated POST API (25 pages, 1s delay), per-phase Doppler pricing expanded from dedicated doppler sub-object (P1–P4, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Black Pearl), affiliate buy URLs stored per item, favicon via PWA icon, full i18n descriptions in EN and RU
- •SkinCard compact mode: new compact prop on SkinCard renders a condensed layout in the trade-up finder — tighter padding, smaller image, inline price — without touching the default card used elsewhere
- •Trade-up finder improvements: skin result cards now link directly to /skins/:slug detail pages from the database slug, iTrade.gg and HaloSkins prices integrated into trade-up output calculations, server-side pagination added for large result sets
- •CompleteTheLook widget now dynamically labels the knives section ("Karambit", "Butterfly Knife", etc.) and gloves section ("Sport Gloves", "Hand Wraps", etc.) based on the actual items returned rather than hardcoded category headers
- •Condition-specific skin pages: /skins/:slug/:condition now serves the full skin detail page with that condition pre-selected — same layout, same prices, same float viewer, just a dedicated URL per wear — multiplies ~2,000 skin pages into ~10,000+ indexed pages including StatTrak™ and Souvenir variants
- •StatTrak™ and Souvenir condition URLs: /skins/ak47-redline/stattrak-field-tested and /skins/ak47-redline/souvenir-field-tested each get their own dedicated URL, crawlable NuxtLink, and condition-specific SEO metadata
- •Sitemap extended with ~4,000–5,000 condition-level URLs (priority 0.6) covering all weapon skins × available wear conditions
- •Condition selector buttons (Standard, StatTrak™, Souvenir) are now crawlable NuxtLinks — all variants discoverable by Google
- •Condition-aware SEO: title, description, canonical URL, OG and Twitter tags all update reactively per condition including StatTrak™/Souvenir prefix
- •Wear preview slider on condition pages pre-scoped to the condition's float range (e.g. FT slider constrained to 0.15–0.38)
- •Email validation added to trade-up access request form and portfolio waitlist modal: rejects addresses without proper @ and valid TLD
- •Skinport marketplace integration: price data, affiliate links, trade-up support, and i18n translations across all pages
- •Loadout builder inspiration section with curated themed loadout examples and improved SEO copy
- •Mobile filter sheet for advanced search: slide-up bottom sheet on mobile/tablet with full filter controls
- •Enhanced SEO metadata for knife and rifle category pages with richer descriptions and keyword targeting
- •Trade-up calculator title and meta description updated for better search visibility
- •Trade-up access request system: email notifications when users request access, with admin manual sender
- •Trade-up improvements: server-side pagination for skin results and improved float range calculations
Fixes(10)
- •Fixed condition page content not updating on client-side navigation: conditionWear was a plain const (frozen at setup time) — converted to reactive computed(() => route.params.condition) with a watch to sync selectedCondition on every route change
- •Fixed definePageMeta imported as a function causing 500 errors: it is a compiler macro and must never be imported
- •Fixed Nuxt 3 nested routing preventing condition pages from rendering: added NuxtPage outlet in parent then refactored to single-component approach where [slug].vue handles both base and condition URLs directly
- •Fixed Skinport favicon not displaying on slug pages: switched from direct skinport.com URL (blocked by hotlinking) to Google faviconV2 proxy, matching other marketplace favicons
- •Fixed price snapshot bug causing 51 days of missing trending data: NULL constraint on phase/wear columns and 30s statement timeout silently aborting bulk inserts — resolved with COALESCE defaults and disabling timeout for that operation
- •Fixed missing canonical URLs on /agents, /patches, /souvenir-packages, and /stickers/autographs pages causing Google to mark them as soft 404 or unknown
- •Fixed 5,439 soft 404 URLs: stickers, patches, graffiti, and keychains were being linked to /skins/ routes that do not exist — added getItemUrl() helper to route each item type to its correct detail page
- •Fixed collections JSON-LD schema generating wrong /skins/ URLs for non-skin items (patches, graffiti, stickers, keychains) embedded in collections
- •Fixed 404 on all Doppler and Gamma Doppler phase skin pages: stored slug column had no phase suffix (e.g. bayonet-gamma-doppler for all 5 phases) — migrated all 181 phase skins to include phase in slug (bayonet-gamma-doppler-emerald, bayonet-doppler-ruby, etc.) and added OR s.slug = $1 fallback to the API WHERE clause
- •Fixed affiliate URL never reaching buy buttons: API jsonb_build_object used camelCase key affiliateUrl but the template and computed accessed snake_case affiliate_url — all iTrade.gg and UUSkins buy buttons were silently falling back to # instead of the stored URL
Refactoring(3)
- •parseConditionSlug() / getConditionSlug() helpers handle stattrak- and souvenir- URL prefixes cleanly with zero duplication
- •Added getItemUrl() universal URL helper to useUtils.ts — detects item type and returns the correct route prefix for all CS2 item categories
- •Updated useInternalLinking.ts and related skin/collection pages to use getItemUrl() instead of hardcoded /skins/ prefix
