Add Release Deck to Plugin Store

Release Deck is a package manager and GitHub release downloader built specifically for SteamOS Gaming Mode in the Quick Access Menu (... button).

What Release Deck Does:

  • Discover & Download: Browse tracked GitHub repositories, drill down into releases/tags, read interactive changelogs, and download game ports, AppImages, and standalone packages directly without entering Desktop Mode.
  • Smart SteamOS Compatibility: Highlights Linux compatible packages (.AppImage, .tar.gz, x86_64) with badges, while also supporting Windows .exe standalone packages for Proton.
  • Non-Steam Shortcut Integration: 1-click adds installed applications and games directly to your Steam Library with clean app naming.
  • Installed App Management: Collapsible card layout, automatic executable detection and selector, in-place version update checks, and safe uninstallation.
  • Live Background Downloader: Non-blocking downloads with live speed (MB/s), byte counter, and progress bar.
