Future Plans?

[notwhoyouexpected]

Hi, what are your future plans with this package? Any Features planned?

I Think it would be a great future if we could extend the package somehow so we could create "Addons" for it

best regards

Hi! I do have some features planned, yes. There isn't really a concrete roadmap or anything along those lines, but the 'type: feature' issues will give you an idea of what I have in mind next.

Regarding your suggestion for addons, it's already possible to do quite a lot just by following Laravel conventions. You can implement event handlers, add your own routes, use the package's REST API, etc. The new UI Presets feature is also a good way to build custom UIs.

I do need to think about ways to make it easier to augment existing functionality (for example, adding custom fields to the existing Create Thread form). Historically, I think people have achieved this by overriding the controller namespace for the frontend routes (see relevant discussion: #370) - that's no longer possible in version 6, but I'll either bring that back or implement a way of extending the built-in forms/actions.
