Explain in detail what your suggested feature would be used for.

vrcx's gui is just a webview, right?

couldn't we make that webview optional (still very much on by default) and host the ui via local http?

if you've ever used syncthing or copyparty, you know what i'm talking about.

Describe how it would look if it requires a UI.

this should just mean hosting the existing vrcx ui as a webpage, shouldn't need any changes.

Explain why people would want to use it.

i'd rather be able to open http://localhost:(whatever) in a web browser i already have, rather than running an entire chromium instance just for vrcx.

this could also maybe allow accessing a vrcx instance remotely, also making it somewhat accessible on mobile.

as someone who leaves this thing running on one computer 24/7 just for the logging, and hasn't found a good way to synchronize data or settings between installations, i think that'd be neat.
