While apizr offers a robust set of features, its static nature in terms of functionalities may limit the speed at which it can adapt to new requirements or innovations. By not having a plugin system, we could be inadvertently hindering the organic growth and adoption of the tool, as the community might look for more flexible alternatives where they can contribute and extend capabilities on-the-fly.
Benefits
Flexibility: Users can tailor apizr to their specific needs without having to modify the main source code.
Scalability: A plugin system allows for rapid evolution of apizr as new functionalities can be introduced by the community.
Rapid Adoption: Users can benefit from functionalities as soon as they are developed by the community, without waiting for an official update.
Community Engagement: Allowing the community to contribute through plugins can foster a stronger sense of ownership and engagement, making apizr more vibrant and dynamic.
Additional context
Implementing a plugin system would align apizr with several successful tools in the market that leverage community contributions for growth. It is vital, however, to ensure clear guidelines and documentation for plugin development to maintain quality and security standards.
