Ideas For New Features/Modules

Dear Patrons,

I think it's time to make use of this platform and give the people who support me some say in the direction I will be taking.

Soon, I will have shipped all Material Plane orders, which means that I will have some more time to focus on other things, which is why I'm planning a 'New Features/Modules' poll in which paying members can vote on one or more things that you would like to see.

To create this poll, I'm reaching out to you for ideas. Below, I will list some of the ideas I have, please comment either here or on Discord (#new-features-poll in the Patron only zone) if you have any ideas. After some time (probably some weeks) I will compile all ideas that I think are reasonable and doable into a single list for you to vote on. Depending on how the voting goes, I will then pick either some smaller or one bigger project to work on.

Here are some of my ideas:

Module: Material Plane
Title/Summary: Player pens
Description: Currently, when using the pen, Material Plane does not distinguish between different pens and different players. This feature would change that. You can assign each player a pen (or have a single pen and have this functionality only active during a players’ turn). Whenever the pen is used, it is directly related to the assigned player.
For example: Only that player’s token can be moved, targeting tokens is done for that player specifically, etc.

Module: Material Deck
Title/Summary: Context based display
Description: Assign Stream Deck folders, pages or profiles (not sure if folders or pages are possible) to certain events. For example:
When combat starts, open the combat tracker page
When a token is selected, open the token page
When opening the scene or audio sidebar tab, open the relevant page

Module: Material Deck
Title/Summary: Dice Pool
Description: Create a system where you can generate a dice pool. Have separate buttons for each die (d2, d4, d6, etc), with a counter on each button. When you press it, the counter for that die increments so you know how many times you've pressed it. '+' and '-' buttons to add a number. And 'Roll' and 'Clear' buttons to roll the dice pool or clear everything. So if you press the d6 button once, the d8 button twice and the + button twice, you'd have a 1d6 + 2d8 + 2 dice pool, which will be rolled when you press the 'Roll' button.
It could have things like “+cha” to add the charisma modifier of a selected token.
This could interact with Foundry roll prompts, so when Foundry asks for, for example, an attack roll, you can create a dice pool to roll.
Maybe with an optional feature where the Stream Deck automatically displays the dice pool when a roll prompt appears. 

Module: Material Deck
Title/Summary: Add support for Stream Deck + and Stream Deck Neo
Description: For both of these, only the ‘normal’ buttons work. This feature adds support for the dials and display of the SD+ and the display of the Neo.

Module: New
Title/Summary: General MIDI module
Description: Use any MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) to control Foundry. At first, the functionality would be limited, I’m thinking about just being able to trigger macros (with variables such as velocity, so there’s basically unlimited possibilities). In the future this could be expanded into something more like Material Deck/Keys where you could assign specific keys/buttons or groups of them to often used functions.

Module: New
Title/Summary: Split table
Description: Meant for groups that use a horizontally mounted display. The module would split the display into different zones, one for each player. Whenever the GM shares journals or images, these will be displayed in each zone, right side up for that player. The same would happen with character sheets. Each zone could also have some UI elements, such as player-specific macros (triggerable with for, example, the Material Plane pen or a Stream Deck) and basic token info (HP, AC, etc).
