- Around line 42-43: Remove the unconditional lastAttemptMs = 0L assignment from
loadFromCache so a previously recorded failed-refresh timestamp remains
available to isRefreshDue and preserves the retry backoff. Keep the existing
lastRefreshMs cache restoration unchanged, relying on the field’s process-start
default for initial state.
- Around line 39-40: Update the merge in the repository method containing
loadAllSeeds and decodeCache so cached lists override bundled seeds only when
cached.refreshedAtMs indicates a real refresh, not when it is 0. Preserve the
current seed-plus-cache behavior for refreshed caches and ensure an unrefreshed
or seed-derived cache cannot mask updated bundled lists.
In `@app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/ui/model/LibraryViewModel.kt`:
- Around line 280-297: In the curated-list reconciliation block, add the same
SnackbarManager.show notification used by the Steam-collections reconciliation
when recon.removedAny is true. Place it alongside the existing
PrefManager.libraryCuratedLists update, reusing the parallel block’s message and
behavior.
In
`@app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/ui/screen/library/components/LibraryOptionsPanel.kt`:
- Around line 351-366: Move the curated-list CollectionFilterSection, identified
by curatedLists and onCuratedListToggle, outside the isSteamConnected
conditional so it always renders and can show curated_lists_offline when
disconnected. Keep only the Steam collection section guarded by
isSteamConnected, preserving the existing curated-list data, selection, counts,
and callbacks.

This is intentional, but do we want this behavior changed? @phobos665 @utkarshdalal
I am not behind my computer now but if I'm not mistaken I matched the behavior we had somewhere else (promoted game if I recall correctly).

Hi @Producdevity - I think it would be better if we have a cron job in cloudflare to get the list of 4:3 games and then return that to the user, instead of having all the users call an undocumented endpoint daily. The hardcoded json could also come from either github or R2. Thoughts? |

@cubic is still #1786 (comment) comment still accurate with the current PR description and code changes
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@Producdevity That comment is no longer accurate, and I'd withdraw it.
The P1 was premised on a "promised bundled snapshot" — that a fresh offline install should have the 4:3 list available. The current PR description explicitly says the opposite:
"Once the list has been downloaded, it remains available offline. A new installation needs a connection for the initial download."
That directly matches the behavior the comment flags: on a fresh install with no cache and no connection, loadFromCache() publishes an empty map and the remote refresh can't populate it, so the filter is simply unavailable until the first successful sync. Per the updated design that's intended, not a bug. There is no bundled snapshot to restore.
What's left in the code is a legitimate but lower-severity gap worth a quick note rather than a P1: when that first download ultimately fails, the user just sees an empty "Steam curated lists" section with no explanation (the empty-state message curated_lists_empty reads "No curated lists available right now." — not great UX for "you're offline"). curated_lists_offline is only shown if isOffline is known, and selection/filtering behaves silently. If you think that messaging matters, that's the thread worth keeping; the "restore a packaged fallback / seed the cache" ask should be dropped.

Description
Adds a Steam curated lists section below Steam collections, starting with Does it 4:3?.
I saw Russ from Retro Game Corps and a few other creators mention this during recent handheld streams and videos. With 4:3 devices like the Retroid Pocket Nova becoming more popular, having the curator list available as a library filter seemed useful.
Selections within the same section are combined. Steam collections and curated lists narrow each other, so selecting “Favorites” and “Does it 4:3?” shows games that are in both.
The app downloads the list from GameNative’s R2 bucket and stores it locally. It checks for a newer copy after 24 hours and keeps the cached list if the request fails or the response is invalid. Once the list has been downloaded, it remains available offline. A new installation needs a connection for the initial download.
Why this approach
Steam doesn’t provide a documented API for curator recommendations. The available endpoint returns rendered HTML inside JSON, so having every installation call it directly would make the app depend on an undocumented Steam response.
A scheduled Cloudflare Worker now makes that request once a day, validates the complete recommended list and publishes a small JSON file to R2. The Android app only reads that JSON file.
Informational and not-recommended curator entries are excluded.
Testing
Rollout
The Worker needs to be deployed and complete one successful run before this change is merged.

Adds a Steam curated filter for “Does it 4:3?” so users can quickly find 4:3‑friendly games. The list now loads from a hosted JSON (R2), caches locally for offline use, and refreshes daily; when any Steam list filter is active, non‑Steam sources are hidden.
