Open Source TypeScript Launchers

Decky Loader is a homebrew plugin launcher built for the Steam Deck that enables users to extend and customize the console’s functionality through a dynamic plugin ecosystem integrated directly into the SteamOS interface. It acts as a middleware layer that injects and manages plugins, allowing deep customization such as modifying UI elements, changing system sounds, adjusting display properties, and extending system behavior beyond stock capabilities. The platform is designed to persist across system updates and reboots, ensuring continuity of installed plugins without manual reconfiguration. It supports advanced developer features such as two-way communication between plugins and the loader, as well as interoperability between Python backends and TypeScript React frontends. Decky Loader also allows plugins to bypass typical browser restrictions like CORS, enabling more powerful integrations with external data sources.
