Implement user-submitted demo archive #5

Open neyoneit opened 3 months ago

neyoneit commented 3 months ago

I'd like to propose a new feature that allows users to contribute demos to a central defrag.racing archive. This feature would be similar to the approach taken by Enter with breakdown-hq.

Benefits: Preserves Defrag History: Creating a user-submitted demo archive would help preserve the history of Defrag gameplay and showcase exceptional runs. Enhances Record Verification (Optional): Ideally, the system could attempt to automatically match uploaded demos to corresponding records in the database based on file names and other relevant information. This automated matching would require further discussion and development.

Considerations: Quality Control: We may need to establish guidelines or moderation processes to ensure the quality and relevance of uploaded demos. Storage Management: Implementing a user-submitted demo archive requires careful planning regarding storage capacity and potential limitations. (storage vps that has x TB space will be needed eventually)

Inspiration: This proposal draws inspiration from Enter's work with breakdown-hq.
