Yes it looks like we got another spike in users today. Things seem back to normal now though. If your profile update didn't go through the first time, just run a manual scan afterwards - those are queued so won't overload the system.

Hi! Sorry if this is a silly question, but how does it grab your game info from your friend code?

It fetches the data from the same activity log on Switch - when you search for a user by friend code it shows the last 20 games they've played.

In general not really much different from how we connect to other services. For the most part, the same APIs used on the consoles themselves are what we use.

That's cool, thank you! Other apps I've heard of required actually being friends which was part of my curiosity.
