Backend/source-of-truth alternatives (ex: playtime from Lutris db)

Congrats on keeping this plugin alive!

I had an idea recently to surface playtimes for Lutris games from the Lutris database, since I use Lutris in my PC and Deck, that's a great way to keep all my playtimes integrated and merged between the devices, since Lutris can also sync these values.

My initial idea was to fork this plugin and take heavy inspiration from the frontend code to make my Lutris implementation in the backend.

Taking a look at your current codebase I feel the backend solution for this plugin is already pretty solid to the point I now feel a refactor to allow for the implementation of custom backends via interfaces/adapters is possible and would open opportunities to implement any custom backends a breeze.

Is that something you're interested? If yes, I could take the time to draft a solution and submit here for evaluation, once approved I could also tackle coding it if needed!

Cheers!

It's an interesting idea!

You definitely can give a try to implement something like this, I think many people will be glad to have a better integration with Lutris!

When you will have a PR ready for testing, I will set a nightly-release tag which will allow creating automatically builds which you and other people can use

Nice! I will try to draft something this week, I'll let you know :)

Just an update on this: I am finishing some work I started at the Bottles app and will start working on this right after :)
