It came to me that it would be nice to add new plugins as A/B tests that are easily reversible and measurable.

Hi @webcrumbs-community I've got some ideas for a plugin.

Dynamic content generator :

     Description: A plugin that automatically generates demo content (text, images, etc.) 
     to facilitate website development and design.

     Rationale: Developers often need demo content when creating mock-ups or test websites. 
     This plugin would save time.

Intelligent form generator :

       Description: A plugin that lets you create complex forms with advanced features, 
       such as real-time validation and integration with CRM tools.

       Rationale: Forms are commonly used on websites. An intelligent generator would facilitate their creation and management.

Accessible Design Wizard :

        Description: A plugin that checks compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) accessibility standards and
         provides suggestions for making the site accessible to all.

       Rationale: Web accessibility is a moral and legal imperative. This tool would help create more inclusive sites.

Amazing. Agree 100%. How do you feel about adding them as a markdown document to /research?

Hi @webcrumbs-community @WassCodeur
I got a fanciful idea for a plugin for e-commerce users

Name: Holiday Greetings Plugin (name is subject to change)

Description: A plugin that offers greetings based on the season e.g Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid Mubarak etc.

Rationale: It would enable merchants offer their customers personalised season greetings that could make them feel appreciated

@AJBrownson Simple and nice! I see the potential. Would you add to the /research?

[AJBrownson]

Sure @webcrumbs-community

Core:

• VM Script for security
• Plugin manual review for security
• Subresource integrity (SRI) for security
• Content security policy HTTP for security
• Plugin automatic review to enforce conventions, check coupling and perform integration tests
• Change management process (yield deprecation warning and concede a grace period before braking changes)
• Very small timeouts for reliability
• Retries for critical modules
• Handle connection loss gracefully
• Wording container
• Allow refining and overwriting wording
• Auto i18n for translation
• Monorepo unique CI/CD GitHub > AWS for plugins
• CI/CD webcrumbs for submitting plugins
• Web form for submitting plugins
• Will we be easy to deploy as npm or secure as Apple Store? Trade off

With time:
