Hey folks,

Thank you, everyone, for the feedback and the huge desire for a User Interface overhaul for GameVault on our Discord Poll.

In case you're wondering what GameVault is, it's like having your own video gaming platform for games on your server – think Plex, but for video games. If you are a self-hosting gamer, you most likely want to check this out.

With the brand new version 1.8, we've taken your feedback to heart and worked hard to give GameVault a fresh coat of paint!

I attached a before/after pic of how it used to look (left) versus now (right) so you can see the difference.

The UI underwent a complete makeover, and aside from looking pretty awesome, it is much better in terms of usability as well.

Just so you know: The first UI was kind of basic and only meant for us two developers, as we didn't initially plan to release this project to the public.

Now that the traction is so huge and thousands of people are using this software, it would plainly feel wrong not to give it a facelift. So, every button and detail has been thoughtfully placed to make things way more user-friendly.

If you weren't a fan of the old UI, now's the time to swing by and check out the changes.

If you also want to steer the future development of GameVault, make sure to join our Discord Server.

Im a little confused on whats the usecase for this? It seems cool but im a bit confused when youd be hosting stuff in this way

You either know the exact use case and need somehting like this or you don't.

A lot of people just want to share their accumulated videogame libraries with their families and friends in some kind of platform.

So but would this be games thst you have installed? Or is this just like the individual install files?
