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.
What's your point?
What are they? Is there any deal and ???

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?
Cheers, I will have a look
I have a feeling they're referring to SteamDB plus Augmented Steam.
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.
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.
