As part of Reason world, companion is a place for future additions.
Cool if anybody think about what Companion can includes in future:
1. RE Rating: in the list of installed REs, may be possible to add rating stars. Good and comfort place to make votes by users for any/all available RE in account at once.
Currently, users not vote / forgot for RE votes. Ratings activity is low.
2. Links from RE (and native instruments/fx/utilities) to own shop pages, or device description. May be thin can be helpful for new users, to read about one of the divice from the devices list
Also links from Developer of RE, to shop page with all products off this dev.
3. Promo blocks! Not like it works in the shop with more popular REs, mainly from RS.
Better to have "RE of the day". Randomly shown section / banner for one of the RE. Not one of the best-sellers, not actually on sale, just passive random promotion.
As time shown, users from time to time, find that they never seen / tested (just skipped) before some RE in the shop.
So, Companion, can be the right place for passive promotion of any RE from the Shop. This helps to all Developers to have chances of their RE promo
4. May be!!! Not really needed, just need to think: ReTalk section for any RE with post-moderation (may be some users-admins from RT, may be devs - this help to resolve any conflict in topics by the developer moderation).
This is not a forum-like idea. RT is cooler and right place for talks. But some short user-comments section can be good.
This is like at NI site pages with some comments activity.
5. Users subscription to any Dev. When new RE is released, or updated, users can have visual info at start. Without need going inside to "Devices" section and find that time ago RE is already updated.
6. May be short-pages of REs, in the style like already we have in SoundPacks pages (logo/screen/short info / links / install (try/buy), songs examples
Anyway, this is only thoughts, not must-have plan.
Yes, we all remember previous social networks skill of Propellerheads with community. No needs to repeat this realisation.
May be some minor improvements ideas?
