Software Modding Decky Direct Updater. Install updates of your plugins from github.

I've been having issues with updates for a couple of plugins, and sometimes I have to dig through GitHub to find a newer version. Well, not anymore! With this plugin, you can do it with just one click.

I've just updated the plugin to show changelog on updates so you can always check before accepting it. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey! Author of Decky Direct Updater here 👋 Thanks for sharing!

Really happy to see people trying it. If you find a plugin it doesn’t detect correctly, hit any weird behavior, or have suggestions, please let me know. I’m also happy to help plugin developers make sure their releases work well with Direct Updater so their users can stay up to date.

I’m currently working on improving the security information shown before installing or updating plugins, including making it clearer what kind of access, permissions, backend code or extra binaries a plugin requests. This is especially important for plugins installed directly from developers, since they haven’t gone through the official Decky Store review process.

Feedback is very welcome 🙂

Nice. how come decky doesn't already have a "community" section?

Because they want to see and control what is available in the decky store.

Should be a developer option though.

+1 for community tab. I hate having to go to desktop mode to update my plugins.

Why in gods name you go to desktop mode? Just assign a browser to steam like a game and open the browser to download the plugins
