Plugin Functionality

• I have tested the plugin on both the Stable and Beta Steam update channels.
• My plugin is unique, or provides additional or alternative functionality to plugins already on the store.

Backend Configuration

• Yes/No: I use a standard Millennium python backend in my plugin. --> No, I use a custom Lua backend
• Yes/No: I use custom binaries that or rely on other FOSS projects that aren't written directly using Millennium's python backend. --> No, release is standard compiled frontend and interpreted backend. There are no bundled binaries or runtimes, and the only build-time dependencies are part of the normal plugin toolchain.

FYI You may want to fill out the template from https://github.com/SteamClientHomebrew/PluginDatabase/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/PLUGIN-SUBMISSION.md

And there is a similar plugin to this: #151 but neither that or yours have been merged (potentially for not using the template? Unsure)

Tested and working though :)

Quite frankly I didn't see this nor was there a prompt to use it when I created the pull request; this should be more clear. I'll take a look at updating it and following the rest of the guidelines tomorrow.

Agreed, was just a friendly hint. I'll take a look at why it's not the default / suggested template when creating a PR against this repo.
