For anyone unfamiliar with DeckFilter, it's an android/iphone app that lets you view info on games from your library and wishlist.

For games it will show you:

  • Deck verification status
  • ProtonDB rating
  • Steam user rating
  • HowLongToBeat times
  • Steam tags
  • IsThereAnyDeal prices (wishlist games only)
  • Game settings from ShareDeck
  • Links to game's Steam page, PCGamingWiki, SteamDB, SteamBase, and SteamCharts.

The app also lets you filter your library/wishlist by things like compatibility, tags, ratings, how long to beat, and more. It's a really good way to pick out games to play.

The app just got updated with much faster sync (up to 10x faster), fixed wishlist sync, IsThereAnyDeal integration, steam API support (no longer requires your steam library to be public), sort library by last played, and more. See here for full changelog.

I don't really mind spending a few bucks for a one time purchase on something I'll use. The dev has clearly put in a lot of time to try to make this a really convient place to reference a lot of sources, and I'm fine with them charging a one time fee for it.

Personally, I always find it weird when a developer relies on free data and then asks for money for a frontend that's relatively simple by comparison.

The FAQ says nothing regarding splitting the proceeds with ProtonDB for example, yet the app generates traffic on the ProtonDB server.

That's fine except the fee is not payable without a Google account. And I deleted mine years ago.

You must be used to this by now.

Augmented Steam and https://github.com/cptpiepmatz/great-on-deck-search

Both work fine on Firefox for Android when sideloading the extensions.

There are also a bunch of user scripts which do similar things but I haven't tested those.

Not the person you asked, but maybe they also mean the SteamDB extension?

[–] charles@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I have a feeling they're referring to SteamDB plus Augmented Steam.

[–] pedro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Cheers, I will have a look

Even with a small library of 100 games I wouldn't want to handle data on a phone. Games have so many different attributes tied to them that even thinking about going through them on a tiny phone screen feels like a type of hell described in Dante's unreleased poems.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Part of the goal of the app is to filter those down. So for example, you might filter by Metroidvanias, verified only, very positive+ only, sorted from quickest to beat to longest to beat.

I definitely wouldn't want to scroll through my entire library this way.
