Add Deck Settings

[Josh5]

Deck Settings

This plugin integrates with the Deck Settings API (https://deckverified.games) to fetch game compatibility and configuration reports. These reports are sourced from the community-driven repository at https://github.com/DeckSettings/game-reports-steamos. The plugin allows users to easily view game-specific performance tweaks, compatibility information, and configuration suggestions directly on their Steam Deck, streamlining the process of optimizing game settings for handheld devices.

Features:

• Fetches and displays game reports tailored for handheld gaming devices like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and others.
• Provides quick access to community-verified configuration tips, graphics settings, and performance tweaks.
• Leverages the Deck Settings API to dynamically retrieve the latest game data.
• Allows users to search for game configurations by name or App ID.

This is the first submission of the plugin to the Decky plugin repository.

Please update the license file with information or if you decide to use another license place the text for that license above the original in license file. Please delete the py_modules folder if you are not making use of it. The same for main.py if you're not utilizing the python backend as well.
Please update the description in package.json.
Please remove the flags from plugin.json and add plugin tags that match your plugin. Since you're plugin is not the template or using root, you can remove both of those tags. I don't see a reference to gamesearch component but the file is empty, is this for future use?
Please make these changes and your plugin can go to testing, thanks.

The GameSearch component completely sliped in there. Was replaced when I did the SearchResultsView.
Thanks for these details. Seems I missed a lot of things.

• Deleted empty GameSearch componenet file.
• Updated the LICENSE file with myself as an author. Keeping license as BSD 3-Clause License.
• Removed the py_modules directory.
• Removed the main.py.
• Updated the description in package.json (and README.md).
• Removed flags and updated tags in plugin.json.

@Josh5 please rebase on main to get rid of the playcount merge

[Josh5]

@TrainDoctor I have rebased to main. Thanks.

This is a good idea. I've tested and it appears to work fine on Stable/Beta channels. It would be nice to somehow submit reports for games via the plugin, though or to somehow improve the plugin in such a way that it is capable of adding value to your database of reports. Otherwise, at the moment, it's a plugin that's only capable of showing 1 or 2 reports for a handful of games.

If you added an option on the Game Page to allow users to submit "community" reports, I feel that even I would submit reports for some of the games I play.

Issues

Has the following major blocking issue(s): NONE
Has the following minor non-blocking issue(s): most games I viewed had no reports, with no way to add a report in plugin

Summary

everything seems to work well, though most games I tried said 0 reports. I suppose it's more of an issue with the site itself. Great plugin!

[Josh5]

Some good points raised.

At the moment, the site and database are only a few weeks old. I imagine as it gets used more, the number of community supplied reports will grow.

I will look into developing a method of easily submitting reports from the plugin in the future. At the moment, I'd recommend using a companion mobile view via the site or even the official github app for submitting reports.

Ignore my previous comment, looks like you have the testers you needed and Train already gave the initial code approval. I looked everything over and it seems good, so I'll go ahead and merge. Thanks for your contribution!
