It's the site that Enhanced Steam gets it's pricing information from, and you can sign up for an account there and it will do pretty much everything you've described. You can create a "waitlist" with the games you're interested in and what you're willing to pay - then when a game hits that price (on any store that they track) they'll send you an email letting you know. You can even import your Steam wishlist.

2) This is already a feature of the Chrome version of Enhanced Steam, which is being actively developed. After you have the extension installed, you can mouse over any game in a wishlist for about 2 seconds and it will display the price history information for that game. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in the Firefox version of Enhanced Steam.
3) Again, be sure to check out IsThereAnyDeal.com! From their home page you can sort by the "cut" (percentage discount) so that the most heavily discounted deals are shown first.

4) Thanks! :+1:
Not sure how feasible these are. I'm a gamer not a programer. And the browser extension is already amazing. But here are a few suggested by a friend and I.
1) Per game, set an "Email me if it goes below this price". If you made this a paid feature for say $1 a month, I'd pay it. I'd pay it right now. I'd sign up for two years of that service, today. If I connected my enhanced Steam to an email and went to my games on my wishlist and set an "email me when" price. Like $5 for a game I'm mildly interested in or $20 for a game I really want. I'd pay for that service. I absolutely would. If you need that kickstartered, do that. Gofundme. Do that. And let me know. I want that service and I'll pay for it.
2) Can you list "current lowest price" on the Wishlist screen? I don't know if that's really hard to do or how you'd do it, but this feature is the one that, to me, seems to make the most sense. Usually the first comment I get when showing people this app is "It's a shame you can't see this on the wishlist screen".
3) A web page showing what's on extreme sale and where. If there are free games like "Dead Rising 2" was yesterday, which I missed... though it was on my wishlist. I want to pay $5 for it. It might be cool to know. A page that's just like, here's stuff free that otherwise would not be. I'd go to that page every day. So put ads on it. fill up both sides of the screen with video game ads. Or lump it into the "premium" version of the app. Which again, I would pay for.
4) Your app is the best, you know that? Literally the antithesis of Hitler.
