FAQ

How do I enable notifications?

Click "Enable notifications" on the dashboard (next to the Live indicator). This enables both in-tab toast notifications and background push notifications in one step.

If you see "Notifications blocked", your browser has denied notification permission for this site. To fix it:

  • Chrome: Click the lock/tune icon in the address bar → Site settings → Notifications → Allow
  • Firefox: Click the lock icon → Connection secure → More information → Permissions → Notifications → Allow
  • Safari: Safari → Settings → Websites → Notifications → find helldivers.bot → Allow
  • Edge: Click the lock icon → Site permissions → Notifications → Allow

After changing the permission, refresh the page. The button should now show "Enable notifications".

If you see "Notifications unavailable", your browser does not support the Notification API (e.g., some in-app browsers or older mobile browsers).

How does progress tracking work?

The evaluateProgress() function determines whether the community is ahead, behind, or on track during a campaign event. It compares actual progress against a linear expected pace, with a 10% buffer zone.

  • Ahead — actual points exceed the expected pace plus the buffer
  • On Track — actual points are within the buffer zone of expected pace
  • Behind — actual points fall below the expected pace minus the buffer

What data does this site track?

The site caches the official Helldivers 1 API and stores historic game data. This includes campaign status, defend events, attack events, player counts, and season statistics. See the Architecture page for details on how data flows through the system.

How often is the data updated?

A dedicated worker thread polls the official API every 5-15 seconds. Data is validated with Zod schemas before being written to the database.

Can I use the API?

Yes! Log in to create an API key. The API provides access to all campaign data and historic statistics. See the API Reference for interactive documentation.

Is this project open source?

Yes, the project is open source and hosted on GitHub.
