Featherdactyl

What is Featherdactyl?

Featherdactyl is intended to be an app for Pterodactyl Panel made in Flutter. More than that, its intended to add features to any panel without modifications, and for those features that need modifications; it will be done sanely.

Current ideas

• How should logging in to Feather work?
  • url + api key? url + user + pass?
  • save session as api key or cookies?
• Human Readable Crontab like crontab.guru? any pub.dev package for this? forced to use js package? update: TekExplorer/dart_human_crontab
• Theme System? How should it work?
• Addon System? How should this work???
• ?
• ?
• ? Present your ideas below!

maybe it could be a FeatherProfile that you could login to, and it could work the same profile (which could include theme?) across panels?

2. What do you mean?
3. How should this be implemented? should favorites be saved locally on the app? save it on the server with an addon? or perhaps some external "Feather" database to store preferences linked by url+username+password?
4. Yep. but I was thinking that it would be neat to allow the server side to dictate a custom theme as well. how do you recommend that be done?

• More extensive control over subuser access and permissions, perhaps extended permissions
• It depends on the layout of the page, but theoretically there would be a section at the top of the servers overview page where favourited servers are listed, then the rest of the servers are shown below. Saving them locally on the app would be best for efficiency reasons (e.g. less requests needed if using a DB or API)
• I'm still thinking about this but one idea that came up was allowing users to create custom themes for Feather, similarly to existing Pterodactyl themes, then have a page where you can manage themes.

Don't see how i can do that. ptero v2 has it anyway.

So a sort of "pinned" servers?

Something that's gonna need more thought. Especially since I want to be able to have changable layouts too
