Motivation
A mod to share others mods, that is designed to be a collective space where everyone can contribute, not just a select few. It's an in-game alternative to navigating the depths of the Steam Workshop, where many gems get buried beyond the 7th page, and not every mod gets its moment in the "Most Popular Items in the past week" spotlight.

It transcends the limitations of singular voices, like individual Steam collections or content creators who highlight mods on video platforms. Unlike Reddit, where recommendations scatter across numerous posts with a bias towards the most popular, leaving lesser-known mods (those with around 100k subscribers) in the dark, our platform consolidates recommendations.

This initiative aims to create a central hub for discovering mods without effort, ensuring they don’t fade into obscurity over time. It provides a unique opportunity to stumble upon something new every time you play, fuelled by the community's collective insights and enthusiasm.

Features:
Passive Recommendations: Get a updated list of curated mods every time you load your game.
Seamless Steam Integration: See a mod you like? Click and subscribe directly in the Steam overlay.
Browse options: automatic scrolls, passively cycle through recommendations or actively search the list.
Customizable Interface: Minimize the window and move it for a clean experience.
Community Sharing: Share your favorite mods with others!

Open to Enhancements
We welcome feedback and contributions to improve the UI and overall user experience. Your suggestions and development assistance can help make ModSpotlight an even better tool for the community.
