Latest release

Current
Live DataReliabilityCache

A leaner automatic index refresh

Automatic collection now uses a smaller, steadier refresh cycle designed to keep the live index operating within a conservative request budget.

  • Reduced each automatic refresh to one focused page of the newest market listings.
  • Runs the refresh every two hours, limiting normal collection to at most 12 requests per day.
  • Added a longer quiet recovery period when the upstream market temporarily rejects a refresh.
02
SearchModelGuidance

Confidence and price exposure become searchable

The market model now explains what confidence means and lets searches focus on particular reference-quality and clean-price profiles.

  • Added plain-language high, medium, and low confidence definitions beside the price-tag guide.
  • Added filters for clean-price position and confidence level to the advanced search.
  • Added hover and tap explanations to every advanced model control.
03
Live DataReliabilityCache

The live index returns to its proven refresh cycle

Automatic collection now follows the simpler hourly recent-listing cycle that originally kept StickerSignal's cache growing consistently.

  • Returned automatic collection to one focused recent-listing refresh per hour.
  • Removed older-market backfilling from the automatic cycle so fresh opportunities receive the full refresh window.
  • Kept the rolling 24-hour expiry and duplicate-safe updates unchanged.
04
Live DataReliabilityCache

A more dependable live index

StickerSignal now handles interrupted market refreshes more carefully and no longer substitutes sample listings when the live index is unavailable.

  • Replaced automatic sample results with a clear temporary live-index state.
  • Spread automatic refresh work out more evenly and made recovery from interrupted refreshes more conservative.
  • Kept the existing 24-hour listing expiry so old listings do not remain visible as current opportunities.
05
SearchHTTPSReliability

One official address across search and sharing

StickerSignal now consistently identifies its secure HTTPS address as the official version of every public page.

  • HTTP visits now continue to the secure HTTPS site automatically.
  • Canonical and social-sharing addresses consistently use stickersignal.com.
  • Confirmed that the three public pages remain available for search indexing.
06
MobileNavigationBranding

Portrait-phone navigation and layout polish

Every page is now reachable from a compact mobile menu, while the landing-page cards and feedback area stay readable on narrow portrait screens.

  • Added a three-line navigation button with a slide-out menu and tap-outside closing on phone layouts.
  • Kept profit and ROI inside the rotating live-listing cards at narrow widths.
  • Improved the feedback section and refreshed stable search-engine branding signals.
07
InterfaceSticker FinderUpdates

A clearer Sticker Finder and a public update log

The long minimum-sticker-value explanation no longer competes with the input it describes, and StickerSignal now has one place to follow product changes.

  • Moved the sticker-value explanation into a stable full-width help strip beneath the finder filters.
  • Verified the layout at full desktop width and at a halved 640 px viewport.
  • Added this update log so visible changes and the reasoning behind them do not disappear into development history.
08
ReliabilitySafetyMaintenance

Routine reliability and safety improvements

General maintenance tightened the public deployment and refreshed StickerSignal's standard protections.

  • Reduced unnecessary public entry points.
  • Updated site dependencies and browser safety settings.
  • Added standard traffic protection against obvious automated abuse.
09
SearchNavigationCache

Sticker matching is less fragile

Sticker searches now handle punctuation and naming variations more consistently, including names such as Virtus.pro.

  • Normalized sticker search text before matching it against cached sticker names.
  • Fixed the navigation names and destinations across the main model and Sticker Finder.
  • Made every listing in the recent-cache ticker open its cached CSFloat listing check.
10
DatabaseFreshnessSticker Finder

A fresher, duplicate-safe listing cache

Cached listings now have an explicit 24-hour lifecycle, while repeat observations update the existing record instead of creating copies.

  • Repeat observations refresh the existing listing instead of creating visible duplicates.
  • Listings outside the rolling 24-hour window stop appearing in public search results.
  • Sticker Finder gained up to five required sticker filters and an optional total-sticker-count filter.
11
BrandingSEO

StickerSignal gets its own browser identity

The site icon was replaced and optimized so browser tabs and search results use StickerSignal branding instead of inherited preview branding.

  • Added dedicated favicon sizes, an Apple touch icon, Android icons, and a web manifest.
  • Updated page metadata and social-preview assets for consistent StickerSignal naming.
12
Live DataExamplesInterface

Real cached listings replace static worked examples

The landing page began using observed listings for its rotating examples, market ticker, and modeled opportunity cards.

  • Added a moving recent-cache strip whose cards link through StickerSignal's availability check.
  • Added a three-card live deck that rotates through cached stickered skins.
  • Kept sample mode as an explicit fallback when the live index has not produced usable results yet.
13
ScannerShared CachePerformance

Automatic market refreshes go live

Market data began refreshing automatically so every visitor could search the same shared cache.

  • Recent listings refresh automatically throughout the day.
  • Visitor searches read the shared cache instead of triggering a new marketplace search.
  • The market index can keep developing independently of how many people visit the site.

The first hosted version brought the market model, shared listing cache, automatic refreshes, and custom domain together.

  • StickerSignal became publicly available at stickersignal.com.
  • The shared market index and hypothetical model began working together on the hosted site.
  • A repeatable release process made future improvements easier to publish.
