SaveState.fyi
Gaming News Aggregator
I created SaveState because I wanted a single home for all the games news I was already reading across different sites. The live site is at savestate.fyi. The homepage brings publication RSS feeds and social sources such as Reddit, Bluesky, Steam, YouTube, and Twitch together into a fast dashboard of lead stories, cross-source story clusters, review and store pills, momentum leaderboards, and platform charts. Each game page shows publication timelines, sentiment gauges, review scores from Metacritic, OpenCritic, and Steam, live player counts, and HowLongToBeat estimates. I also built an admin console for editorial CMS, sentiment corrections, and automated AI audits.
My Contributions
I built SaveState from scratch because I wanted one place to follow games news across every source I read. I designed the architecture and the whole experience myself, and I used AI assistance for the coding, from the FastAPI backend (a Python web framework) and Aerospike Graph data layer (a graph database) to the vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS frontend. I created the ingestion pipeline that pulls RSS feeds and social sources, added AI-assisted sentiment and audit tooling, and set up Nginx microcaching with Docker Compose for deployment. The result is a site that stays fast, serving responses in under 20 milliseconds.
Tools Used
FastAPI, Aerospike Graph, vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS, Nginx, and Docker Compose.
