Data source

aoe2companion.com — same data their mobile app and site use. Polite User-Agent identifies the app, links back here so their maintainer can reach me. No analytics, no error reporting, no account, no Microsoft/Xbox calls.

Tech

Tauri 2 + Rust. Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS frontend, no build step. Native Win32 calls (GetForegroundWindow, registry read for SteamID) instead of shelling out. ~6 MB portable build vs ~80 MB Electron prototype.

Build from source

Requires:

• Rust MSVC toolchain (rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)
• VS 2022 Build Tools + VCTools workload + Windows 11 SDK
• Node 18+

git clone https://github.com/aliencoded/aoe2-stats-overlay-rust
cd aoe2-stats-overlay-rust
npm install
npm run tauri dev      # dev, hot-reload
npm run tauri build    # release exe + installers

Plain PowerShell lacks link.exe in PATH. Run from "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022", or call vcvars64.bat first.
