I had an idea where you could follow a user, using a follow button ingame or on their profile. This is different from the current friend system. For my idea I think it'd be great if I could follow a mapper, and when that mapper submits a new map, or updates a map, osu!direct automatically downloads it for me and maybe even put it in a collection (Followed maps?).
Since this idea relies on osu!direct it could be a supporter-only feature, though another feature you could include would be updates in a chat window of followed users' top ranks (potentially encouraging some competition). For example, a player could set a score on a map, I'd get a notification that they did it because I follow them, so I can go and see the score and challenge it for myself.
