Add Optional Contributor Showcase Pages for Approved Media

📋 Summary

Add an optional way for LaunchBox Games Database contributors to create a shareable showcase page of their approved media submissions.


❗ Problem

Media submissions to the LaunchBox Games Database are anonymous, which is valuable for privacy and should remain the default.

However, some users work together on community media projects, such as clear logos, translated logos, fan translation artwork, or other curated media sets. When recruiting collaborators, it can be difficult to show examples of approved work without manually finding and sharing old local files.


💡 Proposal

Allow users to opt in to a public contributor showcase page that displays their approved media submissions.

The showcase could include:

  • Approved images submitted by the user

  • Game title and platform

  • Media type, such as Clear Logo, Box Front, Screenshot, etc.

  • Optional filtering by media type or platform

  • A shareable public link

  • A profile setting to enable, disable, or hide the showcase at any time

By default, submissions should remain anonymous unless the user explicitly chooses to make their approved media visible on their showcase page.


🧩 Use Cases

  • Share examples of logo work before joining a community project

  • Browse a contributor’s approved media submissions

  • Recruit artists for themed media projects

  • Avoid manually digging through old local files to find examples


📦 Benefits

  • Helps community media projects organize and recruit contributors

  • Gives contributors an optional way to showcase their work

  • Preserves anonymous submissions by default

  • Makes approved media easier to reference and share


⚠️ Considerations

This should be fully opt-in, with clear privacy controls. Users should be able to disable their showcase or hide specific items if needed.
