[Discussion] Ideas for Launcher UI #65

I created this discussion to see what the interest is and would be for the Launcher having a GUI rather than a CLI. Please feel free to drop your ideas and suggestions below too.

Microphone Selection & Accompanying Enable / Disable Setting
Nice to use UI
Login & Account Management
Interaction with resources folder (E.g. Show the size, button to clear, set a restriction on the maximum size)
Change log
Theming for seasons (nice to have)
Events & News
Private Server Creation (Using TCP holepunch to remove need for port forwarding? Similar to steam servers)
Friend inviting system

Login & Account Management, would be nice to have, logging in before starting beamNG
Interaction with resources folder (E.g. Show the size, button to clear, set a restriction on the maximum size), also change location I think those are the most essential

Nice to have would be
- Nice to use UI
- Change log
Theming for seasons (nice to have)
Events & News

Really cool would be proximity voice chat, and with that the microphone stuff mentioned.

I guess steam integration is too complicated? Like logging in with your steam account, joining a friends game and all that?

I think the UI idea is good, but I think it should get low prio. However, nothing wrong with using this time to feel out what people would like in a UI.

It doesnt have to be crossplatform, because the launcher isnt. It should, however, be small and fast. Native UIs would come to my mind, and I dont see the need for theming as the launcher should get out of everyone's way.
