I wish this program was either open source, or had a plugin API.

they could do it if they built a proper plugin system. right now if its ot compiled in, you can't add it.

Looks awesome! Any plan on integrating plugins or add-ons? Would love to chat..

what's wrong with using plugins to extend functionality? these aren't dinky/crappy/unreliable side projects we're talking about. these are solidly engineered, production ready plugins that are used by hundreds or even thousands of projects.

Is that plugin system documented? I thought I read that it was on the roadmap but not an existing feature.

Yes, there is the unstable plugin system that can be used for that
