TCG Marquee

Posts about website

A new home page, with every screen in it

The home page is new. It's dark, it glows like the board, and it shows TCG Marquee on every screen it runs on, with real screenshots of the web app, the phone app, and the Apple TV app showing real cards.

Real cards on the home page, and big moves that fit

The LED panel on the home page now plays the week's biggest movers from real collections, with real card art, drawn by the same code as the board. And card pages no longer cut off the 30 day change when a card moves a lot.

How TCG Marquee compares, honestly

New comparison pages put TCG Marquee side by side with TCGVisor, Collectr, and Double Holo, including what each of them does better than we do. And the home page now names where our prices come from: Scrydex.

The website gets rollback too

All of TCG Marquee's code now lives in one place with its full history, and website updates go live on their own, with a backup first and an automatic undo if something breaks.

Socials, a beta Discord, and invites that follow up

TCG Marquee now has social accounts linked from every page, a private Discord for beta testers, invite reminders, and fixes for sign-in and email.

Why I'm writing about building TCG Marquee

This blog covers how TCG Marquee is built, one change at a time, from the first idea to today. Here's why, and what to expect from it.

Two small fixes: stubborn photos and password pop-ups

A replaced photo kept coming back, and a search box kept offering to fill in a password. Both had simple causes, and both are fixed.

About, contact, and cleaner pages for search

A second site audit led to an about page, a contact form, clearer titles and descriptions, and links between pages so none of them stand alone.

Getting found: two rounds of search fixes

A first search check and a professional site audit led to clearer pages: prices anyone can read, a founder section, a changelog, and a support page.
