SteamDeck Game Library Integration
I was wondering if on install of a game in heroic (possibly as a checkbox/toggle) you could have heroic automatically add the installed game to the steam library, this would greatly improve the usability and ease of use to play games and it appears it could be possible when I briefly looked it up and found this repo that automatically adds games from other launchers to steam (it is archived but it's code could be a good starting point) https://github.com/SteamGridDB/steamgriddb-manager

We already have a feature to add a game to steam. The only thing we would need would be to have a new setting in Heroic to do this automatically.
GamePage > Tools > Add to Steam

Oh, perfect, and this could also work for cloud saving support (not sure if that's implemented yet) by calling heroic run (I think there is a cli for this, if not I know legendary does have a launch comnand) or the heroic:/// so heroic launches and could check for saves before launching

I think the current implementation works for cloud saves if the auto-sync is configured

Oh, that's perfect, if we decide to do it automatically (adding to steam), that'll be really good for steam deck users (could check the os name (there is typically a file for that))

We know how ro detect steam deck, but i still would let it be a opt in option.
We could add this button to the installModal or we create a new modal which is called on first startup
