I made a ui frontend thing

turbo vnc is amazing, very cool, well done, thanks.

I made this, if it's any help:

it's a bit easier for me to start connections, thought maybe somebody else might find it useful too.

Thanks, although a better solution would be to improve the GUI of the TurboVNC Viewer so that connection management is available on all client platforms rather than being confined to Linux (which is the least popular client platform.)  Also, improving the TurboVNC Viewer's GUI would allow connection management to be used with all TurboVNC Viewer features, including the TurboVNC Session Manager.

tracks the desire to make such improvements.  Your feedback on that issue would be helpful.  The viewer already has the infrastructure in place for connection management, since it maintains a list of connections and separate options for each host.  Thus, connection management could be implemented by extending the "New TurboVNC Connection" dialog.  I envision an interface with more lines (maybe 5) in the connection list, an "Add" button to add a new connection to the bottom (initially blank until the user fills it in), and a "Remove" button to remove the connection from the list and delete its stored options.  The "Options" button would pull up the options for the selected connection.  I think that all other functionality of your UI is already covered.
