Clarify Steam API key domain field is not validated
Adds a visible callout in the settings dialog and a "Don't have a domain?" note + common-failure list in the README, so users (and the friends they share the app with) don't bounce off the registration page thinking they need to own a real domain.

You need a free Steam Web API key to fetch your library.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to [steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey) and log in.
|
||||
2. Enter any domain name (e.g. `localhost`) and click **Register**.
|
||||
3. Copy the 32-character key shown on the page.
|
||||
1. Go to [steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey) and log in with your Steam account.
|
||||
2. In the **Domain Name** field, type any string and click **Register**.
|
||||
3. Copy the 32-character key shown on the next page — paste it into Steam Dice's settings dialog.
|
||||
|

> **Don't have a domain?** You don't need one. Steam's "Domain Name" field is **not validated** — `localhost`, your name, `personal`, or any other text works. It's just a label Steam stores alongside your key; it doesn't have to be a real domain you own.
|
||||
|
||||
If the page refuses to issue a key, the usual causes are:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your Steam account has spent **less than $5** lifetime on Steam (Valve's anti-spam threshold for API access).
|
||||
- Your account is **limited** (new account with no purchases) or has an unverified email.
|
||||
- You're signed into the wrong Steam account in your browser.
