Most new Decky plugins never make it onto the Decky plugin store, or take a very long time. This is due to various reasons, including lengthy review processes, prohibiting AI use in plugin creation, and disagreements between plugin creators on Discord.

DeckyHub is meant to be an easier way to find and manage plugins that aren't on the store. This comes with tradeoffs, there's less quality control and security checks on the plugins. But it should still be really nice for access to a wider range of plugins. It's also nice for when a steam update breaks a plugin, and you're stuck waiting two weeks for the plugin update that fixes it.

Right now DeckyHub has 531 plugins available, vs 116 for the official Decky store.

This could've just been an alt store yet instead they decided to reinvent the wheel (the entire store front)

    Probably needed some store changes for this many plugins, being able to filter by category for example helps a lot. The regular decky store also doesn't make things easy to view a plugin's github/readme, which is extra important when dealing with a less curated store like this.

    Those would've also been nice improvements to the Decky store front itself. They could've done it cooperatively by contributing those changes to the main store front too.
