Easier publish flow to "beta in plugin store"?

It might be helpful to have just one download link per plugin instead of a link per build. I think it gets confusing quickly when you have multiple builds in a forum topic. Or annoying when you have to search for the latest version.

That is to be seen by the people coding the Online Builder. It is open source: GitHub - mod-audio/mod-cloud-builder

Yes, definitely. By no means I want to impose anything. Just an idea. I know it’s easy to wish for things, time consuming and harder to implement them

Management of FOSS community plugins in the MOD Plugin Store

Hello fellow members of the MOD Community I bring good news to you all. As many here know, we have lots of exciting plans and ideas regarding the Plugin Store.

See MOD Cloud Builder now supports persistent, shareable builds

I have been keeping track of requests to push plugins to beta, I think everything is updated apart from the last additions from @brummer

But let’s make a test!

@brummer has recently opened a PR on the plugin builder for his ratatouille plugin on MOD.
That being Add Ratatouille by brummer10 · Pull Request #190 · mod-audio/mod-plugin-builder · GitHub

So let’s download that mk file to our PC, open builder.mod.audio/buildroot while having a MOD unit connected over USB, and do a “shareable, persistent build”.
Give it a few minutes to build…
(err this one triggers an issue on the cloud side as the build uses too much cpu/ram and hogs the service, but I saw through the logs that the build was done successfully)

And now here is an easy link to install the latest Ratatouille - MOD Cloud Builder
Should work for Duo, Duo X and Dwarf.
