strong support for plugins/extensions
im sure it would be complicated and delay your roadmap, but it would reap huge benefits moving forward, forever:
-
free unlimited global dev work - allows shapr staff to focus on core enhancements and higher level goals instead of spending revenue/funding to get bogged down in nice-to-haves
-
free marketing: when someone makes a plugin, they’re going to be proud of it and want to show it off on youtube/twitter/hackernews etc
-
new unknowable markets - almost everyone in this messageboard is here because shapr3d is already great fit for their work. there’s an unknowable amount of people out there who looked at shapr online and decided to move on because it was clearly missing some specific features important to them. giving people the ability to fill those gaps on their own will introduce shapr to untapped markets that your current staff or user based might not even be aware of
note vscode’s vibrant extensions marketplace and how it became the de facto IDE in some communities seemingly overnight several years ago
