maybe the time to use something outside of the forum that can help better organize this. (and keep everything in one place).
My plan is to collect the responses to this, filter them through the MOD team (and if applicable the plugin developer) and make the final list available on Github.
But discussion still needs to happen on this forum, as this is where the users will be, and the wider community feedback is important.
Maybe it needs its own forum category. [Edit: I just realized there already is one.]
I would not start developing guis without a set of guidelines
I am of the opinion that these guidelines will never actually be created until we have movement on individual designs, where feedback can be given and specifications decided on as they crop up.
Hopefully in my comments I’ve been clear that moving forward with any design is dependent on MOD/dev approval - But to quote @brummer:
That quote was from almost 4 months ago.
I am of this opinion. This is an open platform and is essentially a hardware plugin host. That’s why I chose the Dwarf, and that’s the way it is at the current time. Additionally, IMO it’s better for individual plugin developers to be able to maintain their own brand style.
If a different direction is desired, GUIs can be redesigned at that time. In the meantime, I personally think there is a lot of improvement that could be made to make the platform more desirable for everyone involved.
That said, if the MOD team or the community disagree and would prefer me not taking this action, I will stop. At the end of the day I’m just doing it because I personally find it fun, and am enjoying it as a hobby.
