I Built an Unofficial Wiki for Task Bar Hero Players

#webdev #gaming #indiegame #wiki

I recently built an unofficial guide hub for TBH: Task Bar Hero, a Steam game where players often need quick answers about builds, items, runes, farming, Soulstones, trading, and patch changes.

The site is here: Task Bar Hero Wiki

Why I Built It

When a game is new or actively changing, useful information tends to get scattered across Steam pages, discussions, comments, screenshots, Discord messages, and player experiments.

That makes it hard for new players to answer simple questions like:

What should I upgrade first?
Which builds are good for early farming?
How should I think about runes and Soulstones?
What items are worth keeping?
Are marketplace prices or trading decisions risky?
Did a recent update change the best path forward?

I wanted one clean place where those questions could be organized into practical guides.

What the Wiki Covers

The current version includes pages for:

Beginner tips
Best builds
Tier list notes
Item guides
Rune references
Soulstone farming
Chest farming
Steam marketplace notes
Trading guidance
Server issue tracking
Patch-sensitive updates

The goal is not to pretend there is one perfect answer for every player. A lot of Task Bar Hero decisions depend on your current progression, drops, resources, and farming goals.

So the wiki is written more like a decision guide than a static database.

Why It Matters

For games with builds, resources, and item progression, outdated advice can be worse than no advice. A build that worked before a patch may not be worth copying later. A rare resource can be wasted if players spend it before understanding their current bottleneck.

That is why I am trying to keep the site simple, readable, and easy to update.

What I Want to Improve Next
