Jump to certain page on steamdb.info/sales

[tapulator]

I like to jump to a page (e.g. 20) after requesting "steamdb.info/sales".

The pagination controls just let me jump to the first, last, previous or next page. When I want to continue reading the sometimes large datasets (currently during Steam Spring Sale), I have to click my way through to the desired page, what can be tedious.

For example: I left off at page 20 in my last session. In my next session I go directly to page 5 and then click 15 times (!) on "Next" to get to page 20. UX would be way better, if I could go to page 20 directly.

PS: Maybe there is already a way to do this, e.g. via URL parameter? I tried "page=20" and "p=20", but those didn't work.

How do you know the page you desire is 20? What is your use case? More filtering and sorting can help you.

That's my use case:

I filter by price, discount and rating, everything sorted in descending order. I get about 7.500 results. That's too much to process in 1 session. So, I keep in mind where I left off (e.g. page 20) and want to return there in my next session.

I'm aware that data may change during my sessions and I may not resume exactly where I left off, but I can live with this trade-off, as long as I don't have to click the "Next" button so many times. 😅

More filtering wouldn't help, because I can just filter by minimal values, not maximal to "chop off" the already processed results. Sorting kinda helps, but I would have to switch between working forward and backward. Too complicated.

Hm, I see now, that I could help myself by showing more results per page thus reducing the pages to navigate. Maybe that's the way you want your users to work around the navigation issues? 😉
