      Currently, even if a mod is intended to be client-side only (and categorized as such), using a Sync Profile does not allow the non-owners to modify anything at all about the profile. I love the syncing, but having to redo the sync and then disconnect just to turn off some…

    9. Import Local Mod action installs into a directory with a different name than via other meansOpen

      Import > "…local mod" (why lowercase btw?) installs a mod package into a directory named as the mod's base name only. For example, MyCoolMod. But installing from network installs into a directory named as author-dash-modname, for example SomeCoolAuthor-MyCoolMod. This causes…

    14. Hexium Backend for Risk of rain 2Open

      Hexium now has a riskofrain2 community, but Gale's games.json has no backends entry for Risk of Rain 2, so it defaults to Thunderstore only. Could you add "backends": ["Thunderstore", "Hexium"] to Risk of Rain 2 once Hexium supports Thunderstore dependencies there?
