I’m a solo dev working on a CS2 case tracking overlay that logs what you unbox and gives you stats over time including a social platform for comparison and seeing what your friends/streamers unbox .
The idea is:
• Tracks your unboxed items automatically
• Shows total value, luck vs standard, rarity breakdown, etc.
• Simple overlay that runs alongside the game (no injection, totally VAC-safe), for any devs out there this is OCR technology so you know nothing is being injected.
I open a lot of cases and realized I had no idea what I’d gotten over time, how lucky I was, or what my most valuable drop even was. So I’m building something to solve that — and seeing if others care too.
For full transparency, the UI mockups are AI-generated, just concept art — I’ve got zero design skills 😅 but I’m focusing on the functionality first.
I’m still early in development, but before going deeper and wasting my life away I wanted to ask:
• Would a tool like this be useful to you?
• What stats/features would actually matter?
If you’d want to test it once I’ve got something running, feel free to comment or DM — happy to keep a list of early testers even though we are still a ways out
Thanks 🙏

Why use OCR instead of steam API?
Why overlay instead of just an external service or app?
Cool project. Even cooler idea.
But people are going to be hesitant in running anything third party unless it’s open source. And even then, there will be concerns of how VAC-safe it actually is. Many third party overlays have triggered false positives in the past.
Pretty interesting to me.
But I second another comment here, I see this more as external app or website and honestly I think it is preferable for you too, you can add ads and so you
why are you posting AI generated images
Super cool, I’d probably use this
Please don’t use overwolf for the overlay. Other than that, good luck.
you should contact streamers who open cases a lot & let them use it on stream. best way to get the feedback
Lmao, it’s not gambling debt once you put it in a dashboard with graphs
yes hurry up and make it, next question!
Love the idea, and would be happy to test out an early version! Genius idea !
u could send it to streamer, i think they’d love to try it
How exposed to hacking is it? That will be the main concern by anyone who actually plays the game and doesn’t just use it to gamble
