Source code for https://steam.forfish.es, a steam:// redirector

How to use

Get the appid of the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/APPID/TITLE/ -> https://steam.forfish.es/APPID -> steam://launch/APPID -> Game is launched

Example - Garry's Mod:

The store page for GMod is: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4000/Garrys_Mod/

"4000" is the appid -> https://steam.forfish.es/4000 -> redirects to steam://launch/4000

Garry's Mod launches.

Why I made this

https://steam.forfish.es/4000 works as a link on Discord and most websites, steam://launch/4000 does not.

So you can use this to send your friends a link that launches a game (assuming they have a browser open and already accepted this once manually)
