What: Similar to the feature requested here for extensions:[Added] Allow importing non-store exensions on the web app
I wanted to ask if you could make it possible to load projects from local files onto the Web Editor. Currently, it is only possible on the Desktop Editor.
Why:
It would be a great incentive in using GDevelop, as people can join projects from a browser, within just the time to create an account. Makes the on-boarding faster.
I don’t know if there are technical reasons for this feature not to have made it to the online editor to this day.
In the old updates, this feature was present, but there were some people who did not carry the engine and work from the site because it is easier, so they changed this and made that you have to download the program to use local files
Hey, just wanted to share support for this formally. I’m sure it’s on the radar, but I’ll @4ian anyway.
I’ve actively searched the forum for an answer for this to not be a thing. It seems there’s a lot of work for it to work? I say that based on this:
Before I saw a message where working on a feature is, at least somewhat, based on how many in the community want it. I’d argue that more people in the community want this feature than we’ll really know, if engagement is only checked based on this forum. The casual and younger audience, I’d say, are more likely to use the web version. I question the analytics of Desktop versus Web users for the engine.
I could go into my personal story on supporting this if it helps push this along.
Here are related posts, just to put it all together, hopefully making the clean-up job easier:
