Leonida is waiting, and you'll want somewhere to keep score. Rookdex gives you a countdown, a tracker and a straight answer on what's actually confirmed.

- A countdown, then a dashboard. Days, hours and minutes to 19 November 2026. At midnight on launch night the home page turns into your dashboard: overall progress, the category you're closest to finishing, what's next, your finds by day and the latest news.
- A tracker with over 200 animals, vehicles, places and collectibles. Search by name or type, filter by category and group, hide what you've found. Spot a gator, tick a box, watch the bar fill up.
- The Dex. Every animal, vehicle, place and collectible on one page per category, each with its status and a link to the trailer or report that shows it. Search it the same way as the tracker.
- Confirmed, expected or rumour. Every item shows its tier and its sources. The News page keeps what Rockstar and Take-Two have confirmed apart from what the press reports, so you can tell a trailer frame from somebody's cousin's friend. Beside the news, one panel points newcomers to guides for their first days and another links Rockstar's official channels.
- Two short guides. Before you start covers editions and what to sort out before launch night. Your first hour covers what to check, claim and skip once the game unlocks.
Your progress lives in your browser, not on a server. No account, no password, no "please verify your email". Install it to your home screen and it keeps working offline, even in a basement with zero bars. Sharing a console? Give each player their own profile. Switching phones? Export your profile and take it with you.
Rookdex is an unofficial fan project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. Confirmed means Rockstar has shown or said it. Expected means it was in earlier games and press coverage expects it back. Anything else is a rumour, and it's labelled as one.

npm install
npm run devnpm run build writes the site to dist/, and npm run preview serves that folder the way Cloudflare does. npm test runs the unit tests and npm run check type-checks. Pull requests from branches in this repo get a comment that links to their preview build. Merging to main deploys to https://rookdex.app through Cloudflare Workers static assets. Design specs and plans live in docs/superpowers/.
Brand files, README art and how to rebuild them
Colours and type are tokens in src/styles/tokens.css. Components read tokens and never write a colour of their own. The mark is public/icon.svg (the app icon) and src/components/Mark.astro (in-page, token-coloured). The social banner is rendered from docs/brand/og.html to public/og.png. The brand spec is docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-21-rookdex-brand-design.md.
To rebuild the icons, run npm run icons for the PWA set and npm run icons:favicon for the favicon, which is generated separately from assets/favicon-source.svg. It is the same mark without the palm, which is noise at 16 px. To rebuild the banner, run node docs/brand/serve.mjs, open http://localhost:4400/docs/brand/og.html and call render() in the browser console. It posts the canvas back to the server, which writes public/og.png.
The README art lives in docs/readme/. To refresh the screenshot after a UI change, run node docs/readme/capture.mjs. It screenshots https://rookdex.app on a phone and a desktop viewport with headless Brave, places the shots into docs/readme/screens.html and writes docs/readme/screens.png. Set BROWSER_PATH to use another Chromium browser, or pass a base URL to capture a local preview.
