Oh please be a stand-alone VR headset. I'm so sick of Meta's awful software!

I have modded Beat Saber and you'd think it would be easy to keep your maps/replays synchronized with your computer. Nope! It's a huge, manual pain in the ass.

If it was running SteamOS I could just create a cron job or systemd timer and have it auto-sync whenever I turned it on. It would be trivial!

Have you seen BeepSaber?

A basic implementation of the Beat Saber VR game mechanic in the Godot Game Engine for Oculus Quest (and other VR headsets) This game uses godot 3.2. The implementation supports to load and play maps from BeatSaver.

A little hokey but I bet it doesn’t break every other week when Meta updates it. Not sure on addons tho.

The last commit to beepsaver was over a year ago and there's no mechanism to submit scores to anything like BeatLeader (https://www.beatleader.xyz/u/76561198133136058)

I'm sure a better Beat Saber clone will come out some day but without a global leaderboard and support for replays it's unlikely to ever get much adoption (amongst the fanatics anyway, haha)
