I wrote a small CLI script to pull out some data out of Planka but it could easily be converted to a react/vjs/vue something.

Is a plugin system planned ? That would allow 3rd parties to add such features that are not in core.

Not at the moment. There are simply too many other features in the works. But if at some point modules will be needed this will surely be discussed.

Thanks for the clarification.

I would just add my $0.02 here... FOSS projects that encorporate a plugin system tend to enjoy greater success IMO. It also lightens the load on you.

Examples:

Home Assistant https://www.home-assistant.io/addons/
Kannboard https://kanboard.org/plugins.html
PiWiGo https://piwigo.org/ext/
Not FOSS but look at computer games - if it supports modding then the game is much more likely to be picked up by a community and made crazily popular, e.g. RimWorld, Minecraft etc.

I'd suspect the challenge is not whether to support plugins, but how to make the architecture plug-in friendly?
