> It could most certainly be done. I am maybe 80% there. The thing is: I don’t care enough to finish it. Discourse is more like a company product and not like an open source project. People here are mostly company employees or want to use discourse for their own projects. So the energy just isn’t there. Maybe one day I am really bored I will finish it just to prove a point. 😀

Don’t give up just yet! I think I can speak for many other users here when I say that this #Customization > Plugin would be an absolute breakthrough for Discourse and change everything, especially in certain use cases. I highly encourage you to continue and finish the last mile. 💗

Could you elaborate on that? I might have a need for that, so I’m very interested in what you have to say. You have my full attention now… 👀

You’re not alone. Check out this topic.
