# aong.dev

> aong.dev publishes Balatro mods by Aong: Edition Decks (a deck mod), Better Background (weather and background mod) and Chromite (a quality of life mod, in development). The mods load with Lovely, some also need Steamodded, and all are open source under GPL-3.0. aong.dev aims to make quality Balatro mods that solve players' needs while respecting other mods.

All mods are built to share a Mods folder with other mods: they detect other mods, step aside where another mod already handles a feature, and credit the authors they build on. Full details of every mod are in [llms-full.txt](https://aong.dev/llms-full.txt).
