Description

Software like SketchUp, unity etc have their own asset store/ online platform. I was wondering if Tiled could maintain a similar thing. This could make Tiled very popular among developers.

1. Assets for developers to upload, and other developers to use subject to some license.
2. Store asset files online for teams who are working on the same project (Like GitHub).
3. It can be extended for other things.

On a side note, developers could sell their assets for a price. And Tiled organisation can take a percentage say 5% - 10%. This could help support the system.

This is just an idea. If the idea is appealing, I will try to do more research and give an update. I personally would love to work on this.
