CactBridge (FFXIV Plugin)

A custom FFXIV Dalamud plugin written in C# (.NET) that integrates Cactbot alerts directly in-game. It was originally designed for SteamOS on Steam Deck, where Browsingway is harder to use smoothly and can cause noticeable FPS loss. It combines a local HTTP relay server, OverlayPlugin WebSocket subscriptions, an embedded headless Chromium runtime via PuppeteerSharp, and a Dalamud/ImGui overlay window with optional chat announcements.
