  • PluginLoader

    Discontinued A plugin loader for the Steam Deck [Moved to: https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader]

    • I really like the idea of being able to launch non-steam apps/games without having to manually add each one of them. However, I'm scared of plugin loader compromising the stability of the UI, and also because it will likely break whenever Valve updates the UI. And also it means one extra thing to remember to manually update, using a very manual process.

  • BoilR

    Synchronize games from other platforms into your Steam library (by PhilipK)

    • How does the plugin add the shortcut without restarting steam? I know that https://github.com/PhilipK/BoilR could really benefit from this, as well as https://github.com/redromnon/HeroicBashLauncher and https://github.com/SteamGridDB/steam-rom-manager

  • Scarab

    An installer for Hollow Knight mods written in Avalonia.

    • I actually found one that works with the current version, it's called Scarab or smth? Here it is for Hollow Knight https://github.com/fifty-six/Scarab/releases/tag/v1.11.0.0

  • browser-selector

    Browser Selector is a Python script that allows you to choose what browser you want to launch for each URL. It is intended to be used as a default URL handler.

    • Side-note: over a decade ago I wrote browser-selector, which seems to have the same purpose as Junction.
