I had my phone read me the article since I was busy doing some manual task. I wholeheartedly agree. The development of a plugin (or modding for the gaming crowd) system would be massively beneficial for speeding up the development process.
The current issue I have for example: I‘d like lemmy to have some features and I actually can fork it and do a PR if necessary but I dont know how to dockerize the whole thing again and this makes it insanely complicated. A plugin system would mean I can develop something without working on the original thing.
It is what makes kodi gread, what makes long time favorite games great (minecraft, fallout for example) and those are proprietary, for profit games. Imagine the impact of this in the FOSS community. A LOT more people here know how to code and tinker which makes mods and plugins so much more likely to happen.
Anyway, thank you again for providing the instance and your inconsiderable knowledge and ability to write concisely like this. If you ever write a book, I will definitely buy it. Have a good one!
