As a CurseForge creator, I’d love to see a dedicated desktop app for authors — similar to the existing standalone CurseForge app players use to manage and update their mods/addons.

Right now, uploading or managing projects requires going through the website portal, which can be confusing and inconsistent. For example, certain actions — like joining or managing the Rewards Program — often redirect you to the legacy CurseForge site, making navigation feel disjointed and outdated.

A desktop authoring app would simplify this entire process by letting creators:

• Upload new mods or updates directly from their computer.

• Manage project details, descriptions, versions, and changelogs in one place.

• View download stats and earnings at a glance.

• Handle Rewards Program enrollment and status without being redirected.

• Sync local project folders for quick publishing and version tracking.

Essentially, it could function identically to how the CurseForge app updates mods for players, but built specifically for authors. This would streamline the publishing workflow, reduce confusion with multiple website versions, and make the platform far more convenient for active developers.
