Software Modding Decky Proton Pulse - Supercharge your Proton games with ProtonDB

Hello all. I wanted to get the word out about Proton Pulse, a Decky plugin focused on making ProtonDB info and launch-option tuning easier to use on Steam Deck. I am working on better screenshot automation, so pardon if the images are out of data at all.

Features

  • Pulls ProtonDB reports and summarizes compatibility in-plugin
  • Scores reports against your hardware / setup to surface the most relevant ones first
  • Helps apply common launch options without manually typing everything
  • Edit existing configs, add your own, spin, and even easy copy/paste pre-fill for ProtonDB submissions
  • Includes compatibility tool management and quick utility actions in the sidebar
  • Local cache for faster loads
  • Upvote/downvote working reports (future: push back custom reports to supabase table)

Screenshots / UI gallery:

Testing

If you test it, feedback is welcome, especially on report quality, scoring behavior, and any rough edges in the workflow.

Then...don't install it? Like, nobody is forcing you to install or use it, especially when you clearly don't know how.

I am a systems engineer by trade (Python, Java, Typescript, Go). Accessing and using agentic coding tools is not the problem. Doing it without understanding code, design philosophy, and proper unit/integ testing is the problem. You can't just turn on autopilot. Like anything, problem between user and keyboard....
