Filter for status is something that will be planned in the future 🙂

Notifications and the ability to see what variants a player has made by clicking their username should be good quality of life changes.
Variants World has been around for a while. After its release in February 2024 (I was still learning how to make variants then), we have seen some updates, such as a posts list option, and the addition of some 2023 submissions. VW still has a lot in store and the UI can be improved by much. So, the same way I start all my forums, here is my
Variants World Suggestion
1. Sort By:
Open VW and search my name. The top has an ID of 2, each going in ascending order. Now, search "accepted." The top ones are Phalanx and Triune Wasp, both of which are from 2023 and have submissions that we currently don't care about (that was not meant to offend anyone). Assume you're looking for a WoF submission from around September 2024 to recall the name. You can either 1) Scroll down until you find it, 2) Search "accepted" and scroll, or 3) Go through VVF and find it. How inconvenient, right?
This nuisance can be fixed by adding the Sort option, allowing users to sort through which month they want to search.
Now assume you're just browsing accepted variants. I can guarantee you will find the declined variant "Fairy Placement!" which brings me to the next thing the Sort feature can do.
Right now, searching "accepted" goes through everything on a submission's page: The title, the creator, the description, the verdict message, and comments. All of these are useful to search for, such as when trying to find a specific creator, trend/name, or decline reason. But seeing all of it at once seems redundant, especially when some people don't know how to use the "reply" feature (for example: search up my name and click on LobotomyDynamix. The only reason that submission shows up is because someone replied to my comment by typing out my name).
The Sort feature can also filter what your search searches through. (Example: Sort it to only show submissions that have "shuffling" in the decline message.)
In addition, the Sort feature can also sort through or sort out the variant review status, being Under Review, Accepted, Declined, Auto-Declined, Self-Declined, Bugged, and Pending Reply.
Did you think I would stop being lazy and make a second suggestion? There's a reason why the title isn't plural.
