Gaming / after-hours

AFTER HOURS

Strategy brain,
developer hands.

Mostly PlayStation, with one very long-running exception on PC. I got curious about where six thousand hours actually went — so I built the tool that answers it.

About / ghoroury.dev

HELLO, WORLD.

I'm Ahmed.
I build things.

I’m a software engineer who started my career as a full-time developer before spending more than 13 years working across technology, digital transformation, and the industrial world.

Now I’m back to building software. Ghoroury Developments is where I share that journey. Creating apps, experimenting with AI, learning modern development again, and documenting what it’s like to return to coding in a completely different era.

Game Library Stats

Running at games.ghoroury.dev/library-stats

GAME LIBRARY STATS

Your library, in one place.

The live app runs here. Connect Steam, PlayStation, or both, and it ranks everything you own by play time with achievements and trophies alongside. Nothing is stored — your key and token stay in the tab.

How it works

  • Steam Valve's official Web API returns owned games with lifetime and two-week play time, Steam level and badges, and per-game achievement progress.
  • PlayStation There is no official PSN API, so an npsso cookie is exchanged for a short-lived token against the endpoints the PlayStation app uses, then play time and trophies are joined.
  • Where the data goes Nowhere. A small Cloudflare Worker forwards the request because neither Valve nor Sony sends CORS headers. It keeps no database and logs no credentials.
