Note: As of 2022, Greenworks has no active maintainer and is no longer in active development. While many games continue to use greenworks successfully in production, depending on your needs, you might want to consider alternatives:
- https://github.com/Spacetech/greenworks - A greenworks fork which seems to have better workshop support and is context-aware but does not seem to have automated builds.
- https://github.com/ceifa/steamworks.js - A greenworks alternative built on Rust, it's unclear what the feature set is.
- https://github.com/greenworksjs/greenworks - A community attempt at reviving greenworks - did not go past the planning stages yet.
Feel free to add a PR for other alternatives. Again, many projects use greenworks successfully, so this might still be your best choice.
Greenworks
- Greenworks is a node.js addon that allows you to integrate your HTML5 game (or app) with Steamworks by exposing a number of Steamworks APIs to JavaScript.

- node v0.8, v0.10, v0.12, v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v9 and v10
- NW.js v0.8, v0.11+
- Electron v1.0.0+

- The project is currently funded by Greenheart Games and other donors.
