## Why Nebula Was Archived
Nebula was created with a very specific goal in mind: to be a **controller-first browser that lived inside the Steam ecosystem**, particularly for Steam Deck and SteamOS users who wanted a web experience without relying on desktop mode, keyboards, or external workarounds.
During the Steam review process, Valve determined that Nebula does not fit within Steams allowed categories for non-game software. As a result, the application was permanently retired from Steam and cannot be distributed on the platform.
While Nebula can function as a desktop browser, distributing it outside of Steam fundamentally changes the experience it was designed to provide. Requiring third-party installation methods or desktop mode defeats the core problem Nebula was built to solve.
Rather than ship a compromised version that no longer aligns with its original purpose, the decision was made to formally conclude development and archive the project.
This repository preserves Nebula in its final state as a complete exploration of controller-first browser design.
