Steam Charts plugin - Real-time Steam charts for trending, most played, and top records

[saulob]

Hi all,

I built a new plugin called Steam Charts, focused on showing real-time Steam game charts in a clean and minimal layout optimized for e-paper displays

It is designed to quickly show trending games, most played titles, and all-time peak records, keeping the setup simple and the interface easy to read

✅ Features

• Trending games based on recent activity
• Most played games on Steam
• All-time peak player records
• Current and peak player counts
• Activity trend lines
• Optional game images
• Simple and clean layout for quick glance
• No API key required

🎯 Details

The plugin fetches data directly from steamcharts.com and displays the information in a compact visual layout designed for e-paper screens

It supports different chart modes, lets you choose how many items to display, and can optionally show game images for more visual context while keeping the layout lightweight and readable

Motivation

I wanted a simple Steam plugin for InkyPi focused on the most relevant chart data

The goal was to create something quick to check and easy to configure, without API keys or unnecessary complexity, while still showing useful live Steam stats in a clean format

Would love feedback or suggestions
