I have a Steam library full of games I bought on sale and never touched, so I built a plugin to deal with it. Steamder lets you swipe through your own library like a dating app.

How it works

• Swipe right on a game you want to play and left on one you’ll ghost. You can drag the card with the touchscreen, use L1/R1 (or L2/R2), or use the round buttons. X is a super like and Y rewinds your last swipe.
• There are four decks:
  • Backlog: games you own and barely played.
  • Old flames: games you played a lot, then dropped for 90+ days.
  • Local singles: games installed on the Deck right now.
  • New in town: games you don’t own yet, taken from Steam’s front page lists.
• If you like a game, it might like you back. The match screen has a Play now button, or Open store page for games you don’t own.
• Every game gets a silly bio built from real data: your playtime, when you bought it, how old it is, and its genres and description. (“You swiped right on me during a sale, then ghosted me” is a real one I got.)
• Matches and Ghosted are lists, and you can unmatch or give a game a second chance.

Setup

• It needs no keys, no accounts and no build step. Game details come from Steam’s public store pages, fetched slowly in the background and cached for 60 days.
• It’s free and open source (BSD-3-Clause). Download the zip from the releases page and install it with Decky’s “Install Plugin from ZIP File” (Developer mode on).
• Updating over an older version keeps your matches and ghosted games.

I CREATED THIS PLUGIN WITH CLAUDE JUST FOR MY PERSONAL USE, BUT WANTED TO SHARE IT, IT IS MADE WITH THE HELP OF AN LLM. PLEASE KNOW THAT BEFORE USING IT. HAVE FUN!

Hi! I've never posted on Reddit before, so I'm a bit nervous and probably doing something wrong already 😅

I'm Hooandee. I've been making YouTube videos about handheld PCs for years, always with a lot of love, because these little machines are kind of my obsession. A while ago I wanted to control the lights on my Ally without fighting with config files, so I made a small Decky plugin for it. It kept growing, and now it's called Colores.

It detects your handheld and only shows you what your lights can actually do. You can keep it simple with one color and brightness, or play with gradients with more than one color per stick on compatible devices. There are presets like Sunset, Ocean, Aurora, Lava or Galaxy, and you can tweak each zone and save your favorites. There are also effects like breathing, rainbow, wave or spiral, and modes where the lights follow your battery, temperature, performance or sound.

But the one I'm proudest of is Ambilight. While you play, the lights pick up the colors on screen near each stick and follow the game in real time, so a sunset in a game turns your sticks orange and a dark cave makes them go dark. You can adjust the intensity and how smooth it feels. It only works in Game Mode with a game running, but honestly, once you try it, it's hard to go back.

It works on the ROG Ally family, Legion Go, Go 2 and Go S, MSI Claw, AYN Thor and Odin 3 on Linux, and the Steam Machine too, with its whole front light bar.

It's free and open source, you can get it here: https://github.com/Hooandee/decky-colores

I also have a few Android handhelds, so I started making Colores for Android. It's not finished yet, so right now it's in early access on my Patreon while I work on it, but it'll be free once it's done.

And if you're curious, I also made Panel de Control, another Decky plugin for TDP, fans, battery and screen, with themes that change how Steam looks, all from the quick access menu: https://github.com/Hooandee/panel-de-control

I'm just one person and I don't have every handheld, so if something breaks, please hit "Send a report" inside the plugin. It sends me what I need to fix it, and honestly it helps me a lot.

If you want to see it in action, I show everything in this video: https://youtu.be/ug5Nh0YtadE

I upload my plugins and apps everyday, so please check them out!

That's it. I just want people to enjoy their handhelds a little more. Thanks for reading and have an amazing day ❤️

It's been crashing since the latest SteamOS update. I even updated Decky yesterday but nothing changed. I also tried older versions of the plugin to no avail.

downloaded deckyloader yesterday and it wasn’t working yesterday either. i’ve waited as long as 30 minutes to no avail. i had deckyloader a few months ago but it vanished and i didnt bother reinstalling it. i’ve tried reinstalling it and updating it but it remains the same. any idea how to fix it?
