feature: add a custom geode:// uri for installing mods from the website

[pauliesnug]

it would launch geode automatically and download the mod from the uri. the uri would have the mod index id similar to how celeste's olympus lets you install using a custom uri.

I think the idea has been thrown around in the past. First idea would be to do it using the CLI, but most users won't install it

We could bundle some sort of installation handling app alongside Geode that justs deals with this. Or we could have a launcher for Geode that handles this alongside managing mods before starting up the game etc.

I think a Geode launcher would work really well. Right now we have the packages. I think we could take inspiration in how EverestAPI does the mod downloading and profile management all in one centralized launcher @HJfod. I'd love to spearhead a launcher if that helps.

oh my god i was thinking of doing this too, (as well as a sharing mod,) but I have no clue how I would handle it in a mod.

i think it would be better if it was a standalone launcher imo, like https://github.com/EverestAPI/Olympus
